Only one of the volumegroups will currently be available, you can't have 2 conflicting /dev/VolGroup00 entries. That way lies madness. Alternatively, remove one disk, boot F9 (or FC5, really doesn't matter which!) with a rescue disc and rename the volumegroup. vgrename /dev/VolGroup00 /dev/VolGroup-F9 (or something like that - man vgrename). (although in rescue mode, this would be lvm vgrename) if you put the other disk back afterwards, the names will no longer clash Regards, Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCA etc. "It's today!" said Piglet.
