Hi everyone!
Now I've been reading this forum and others for a while and have some idea on how the thing (705N) works. However, I'd like if someone could take the time to explain the harddrive upgrade to me step-by-step.
The system came with 4x40GB HDs and I got 4x120GBs to put in. Now the system works with the 40GB drives just fine.
When I put in the new drives the system shows up in the Assist program, I can make some settings. But then something goes wrong.

Should I boot up the system with one of the old drives in place? Is there someway to copy the OS using the snap itself?

Is the OS even stored on the hd in this version of the Snap/Dell appliance? It said something about missing language files when saving the inital setup settings. Should I just perform a small OS update to re-upload the language files?

Thanks guys!
