I tried installing gnap on a hard drive, and it works. when I run the |
2 |
exact same command to install it on the DOM I get the blank screen w/ |
3 |
flashing cursor. Any thoughts other than using partition magick or |
4 |
something the copy the data from the workign hard drve to the DOM? I |
5 |
have several variations I need to create that will take some time. |
