OK, guys. I apoligize for being lazy!
I just figured out how to bring up the debug command line in the Snap. I just had to go back through the posts; it was all there! Thanks for not telling me. I know I have to do some of the work myself.

I loaded Knoppix Linux v.4 onto one of my PCs running W2K Pro on NTFS and was frustrated at first because the Linux didn't recognize NTFS, even using the ntfs file system switch. So I couldn't access the image file!!
In this case I copied the snap hard disk image .bin file to a usb drive, which the Linux OS recognized and then I imaged the new Seagate drive for the Snap with that.
For those not familiar with Linux, like myself, getting the device listing of the USB devices took a little while, but typing the command: dmesg|grep usb listed the usb devices and, in my case, sda was the id of the drive.
-"mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt" mounted the usb drive with the name of mnt.
---the -t auto, file switch automatically understood the FAT file system of the usb drive.
-typing "ls /mnt" brought up a listing of the files on the root of the usb drive for confirmation.
At first Snap didn't recognize the newly imaged drive. After playing around with a few partitioning utilities, I realized that the new Seagate must of had some info on the head of the drive and the snap image was not at the exact place the Snap expected. I couldn't get the Seagate DOS level DiskWizard to work, PartitionMagic 8 couldn't reclaim the full capacity of the drive and leave it in a "unallocated" state, so I went back to the Drive Management utility in W2K and deleted all the partitions on the drive. I think the disk utility has to "zero fill" the beginning of the drive, so no data is on the drive at all. Leave the drive "unallocated" with no partition.
I then reimaged the drive with the snap image and.....the Snap loved it and worked....but only at the 28GB of the image.

-Type in the command: "config devices format 10000 /reinit"
-This command configures the snap disk system to allow the full capacity of the drive
---The drive is formatted to full size on the server restart.
The new Seagate 7200 200GB drive does run a bit hotter than the original Quantum Fireball. I have ordered a new fan from Cyberguys. the Snap 1000 fan is a 40 x 40 x 10mm fan. Hopefully, that will keep it cool enough.
Thanks for all the help. These NAS boxes are sure neat!
