The disks in the array have been giving hardware errors recently, so we've decided to copy them using dump to another IDE disk. The problem is that when both the RAID array and the IDE disk are plugged in PC, it's unable to boot off the array, trying the empty IDE disk instead. Is there a way to boot from the array, and yet be able to use the new disk?
