I would like to thank Bob and all of the other answerers. Everyone
agrees that we don't need to do a reload. This is the approach that I thought
would work, but I'm much more confident now. I appreciate the advice, too. In
this move we will be splitting drives between two SCSI interfaces that were
all on one and to make room for a cd-rom drive.
Thanks again to everyone who responded.
