failures, I figured i go ahead and break the raid which i needed to do anyways
in order to install larger HDs now the system is only loading grub Am I sol? is there a way to use grub to relink back to where the os is? I've looked at the drive in with koppix and it appears the guardian stuff is still there.

I do have a full install gsu for my version 4.0.228

all recomendations welcome

Thanks for listening
Sounds like your may had reference to your older hd's some where. The reason I do not want any raid, AV, snap shots or any software ref to HD's. I'm surprised that it does not launch the recovery console.

I would install one of your original HD and do the OS transfer to the new HD's.
