Was the new hard disk the same interface and size?

You might want to try something like Lone-Tar /Rescue-Ranger to clone the disk. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1632293&page=1 JAAS666 (IS/IT--Management) thread58-1470725: System will not reboot Having the exact same problem. It happens randomly, sometimes it restarts fine, sometimes it hangs on the System is Down message.. only thing that works on that message is to hold the power button then start the system again. HP says it's SCO's fault. SCO said it's HP's fault. Tipical. Tek-Tips Forums is Member Supported.

Ghost and Disk Duplication Utilities Clone Drive For Unix and Linux

/. had a story on Ghost for Unix. Lot's of interesting links: Bronster had this script: # Prepare the disk /bin/dd of=/dev/hda if=/dev/zero
bs=512 count=1 /sbin/sfdisk /dev/hda < partitions.sfdisk # wipe the start of the DOS partition as well /bin/dd of=/dev/hda2 if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 # and mark the boot record properly!! /bin/dd if=mbr.dd of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 DISKSIZE=`/sbin/sfdisk -s /dev/hda2`

Mondo Rescue is reliable. It backs up your GNU/Linux server or workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW or NFS partition. In the event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary. Mondo is in use by Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP (US and France), IBM, NASA's JPL, dozens of smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users. Partition Image is a GNU/Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example), .... The partition can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0 UDPcast is a file transfer tool that can send data simultaneously to many destinations on a LAN. This can for instance be used to install entire classrooms of PC's at once. The advantage of UDPcastover using other methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is that UDPcast uses Ethernet's multicast abilities: it won't take longer to install 15 machines than it would to install just 2. SystemImager makes it easy to do installs, software distribution, content or data distribution, configuration changes, and operating system updates to your network of GNU/Linux machines. You can even update from one GNU/Linux release version to another! A recovery CD creation toolkit RECCD is a toolkit for creating a recovery CD. This is a CD which you insert, boot from and confirm overwrite of your hard disk. After confirmation, a compressed HD image is written from your CD to your hard disk. This destroys all the old content and replaces it with the content during creation time of the image. Categories:

[SCO] -- GhostScript Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

16 may, 2006 ----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ _______ SCO Security Advisory Subject: OpenServer 5.0.7 OpenServer 6.0.0 : GhostScript Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability Advisory number: SCOSA-2006.19 Issue date: 2006 April 11 Cross reference: fz533156 CVE-2004-0967 _______________________________________________________________________ _______ 1. Problem Description Ghostscript is affected by an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability. This issue is likely due to a design error that causes the application to fail to verify the existence of a file before writing to it. An attacker may leverage this issue to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of an unsuspecting user that activates the vulnerable application. Reportedly this issue is unlikely to facilitate privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0967 to this issue. 2.
