System Recovery

[Labitt, Bruce]

Right now, I don't have another working running system (linux) at work.
I don't have a problem with a fresh start, (time to recreate everything
is a pain) except that I have no idea what really hosed me to begin
with.  That is the part that is scary...

  That is likely to be the easiest way.  At the very least, it will
make trouble-shooting the problem disk a lot easier, since you'll have
a working, running system to trouble-shoot it with.  You can get on
the web, copy-and-paste output, etc., rather than running from a
rescue environment.

  Alternatively, you could take the problem disk and attach it to a
different, working, running system and trouble-shoot it, if you want
to reserve the 300 GB disk for organizational purposes (e.g., 80 GB
"system disk", 300 GB "data disk").
