when I look at the Config Devices Info results I can see that it has not copied the Private partition. Consequently if the copy is made the boot drive it doesn't boot and just sits there with the lights flashing until I remove the power connector (after 24 hours the first time).
My software version is only 3.0.566 but I am reluctant to upgrade this on the original drive - it's on its last legs and I don't want to lose it. I was hoping to copy it and then upgrade the software.
Config results are -

What am I doing wrong to not get the Private partition ?

From what I see you are upgrading a 2000, the 2200 I think start at 160/240 gig. You do not need to install the boot tracks on a 2000 server. From all of the threads, and experience from upgrading my initialy, the easyest way is to set the unit up as
RAID 1. This way you can fail 1 drive at a time. Installing new ones one at a time. I took the high risk mode by replacing both drives at once. The only problem I had was that it took hours to format both drives this was with v3.4.803, went with out an hitch. Start with the second drive. I also discovered that the drive works best when using Partition magic to prepare the drives, format pri/fat32 or unformated. You should be able to login to the servers Disk Utility and check on the drive status. Once completed powerdown and change the other drive. This procedure works on the 2200 too.
All of the threads say that a ATA 133 will not work. You will have to use the utility software to change the speed prior to installation.
Good Luck
