Hi people
MANY thanks people for the advice, after some painful time I have got
my system back or at least everything seems fine so far [typing from
opera in X].
As a record for myself and or others who may ever need this I
performed the following steps
1. Beat head on wall for not thinking to buy a UPS.
2. "broken " drive would allow access to data but bios fail reported
at attempt to boot
3. installed new drive as master old as slave
4. booted via liveCD
5. Created new partitions and filesystems similar to old
6. mounted new and old partitions
7. cp -prf /old /new
8. chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
9. grub-install /dev/hda
10. reboot
11. cheer
Had a few recommendations for rsync -a and a few concerns that cp
would not cp .files or maintain sufficient permissios etc but I think
that cp -prf has managed to acheive the same.
thanks again
stu
