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,

PS was I correct to add (solved) to the Subj?
