Be sure to change the partition type when you re-use it so the system won't try to auto-detect and map it back in when you boot up. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx This worked! One more question if I reboot I guess it will find the new device and begin rebuilding the partition. So how do I change the partition type, and should I change it to the main drive /dev/sda1 or the second drive /dev/sdb1 (which has been removed). (fdisk?) mB.
