    Ok, I was keeping / , /boot, and swap on a small HD and running rest of file
    system on larger drive w/ Promise controller(My old MB wouldn't support such
    a large drive). Just lost the small HD (it was old). But kind of planned
    ahead and left a 2gig open space at the front of the second drive. Can I
    just re-install Woody, formatting the 2gig section with the needed
    directories and mounting the old file system. Or will I lose all my old
    files? Thanks a lot,

    Dave
