However, it is unclear what you are trying to achieve. Backups are to be done before a drive fails, not after that. Were the two original disks configured in as a mirror ?
Hey...I am using Seagate ST39204LC 9GB drives in both instances at this point (new and old). Not sure of geometry.....where would I access that info? The new drive does not boot. I just wanted to copy everything on my existing drive to this new drive.

I have back-up of everything don't know where that came from.
