Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Hard drive problem

I put a new (larger) hard drive in one of my computers (not my main one),
and in the process, I lost my ability to boot from my eCS 1.1 CD.

eCS was on the hard drive I replaced, and I have a backup that I can't
seem to get to (it is on another drive).

I thought I would just reinstall eCS 1.1 and start over, but when I try
booting from the CD it says:

Unpacking files

CD ROM emulation terminated.

Divide by zero (and then a register dump).

I can boot into eCS version 1.0 from floppies, and LVM can see the hard
drive with no problem. I no longer have my eCS 1.0 CD, and I don't have
floppies for eCS 1.1 (I have always been able to boot to a command line
from the installation CD in the past).

I think there must be something about my hard drive or its setup, but I
don't know how to troubleshoot it. LVM and Partition Magic don't seem to
find any problems.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sandy
