I had that too with Greyghost. At first I thought I'd pull the 10GB
boot drive and move everything over to the 40GB drive. Didn't work--due
mainly in part to BIOS limitations I think... So I then had to figure
out how to shoehorn the 40GB drive in as a slave unit off the second
IDE channel.

After much diddling around I had the drive mounted somewhat securely in
the case...which wasn't really meant for two hard drives. For just
resting on top of a furnace air return pipe it should be fine...but if
an earthquake comes along, it will all be over for that hard drive.

I was able to manage doing all of this in a weekend, but only because I
have no concept of a social life... :-)

If you want to you, you can pull off of my mirror as well...I don't
know that it would help you all that much other than to let you
distribute the load between servers and pull things down a little
faster...
