Answering my last Email

Well, I struggled with this all morning :( and still that dam error was 
appearing. So...

I bit the bullet rebooted from the old drive and dropped to telinit 1 and 
deleted sda2 and fdisk'd etc a new sda2. 
I then copyed all the files from my backup drive, to the new partition 
(sda2) using cp -ax * /  /where_the_drive_is 
and guess what it worked fine :) 
Before the reboot I did the usual Label editing on the old drive, in that I 
"renamed" the  /boot and root on the other drive to avoid conflicts..

FYI the new SATA Drive now shows:

[root@localhost colinjt]# df -h

What a great way to learn *nix

Cheers all,
