Hello Experts,

yesterday my original Snap 1000 Drive went off in white smoke.

i have an image from a 2200 and would like do the following today :

1. connect the new hd as a master on a pc, for example a 40 gig drive from WD

must i select master or cs ?

what kind of cable do i use ? 40 or 80 pins ?

2. boot some kind of linux to use dd

3. mount the source of the imgage

4. mount the new hd

5. use dd if=/mnt/XXX/snap.bin of=dev/XXX bs=1024k count=25000

(where XXX stands for the right device)

6. plug the new drive in the snap as master and then should be able to reach the
system via snap-assist

am i right ? did i forget something ?

can i use every HD ?

Thanks and best Regards

Torsten
