New drives and controller arrived today.  Naturally I couldn't wait to  
get them installed.  Decided the best course of action would be to  
leave a set of the present drives installed and add 2 of the new SATA  
drives to back up the data to.  Did so, closed up the case and hit the  
power button.  Nothing but a flashing ? on the screen.  Opened it back  
up and DOH!  Forgot to hook the power back up to the OS drive.

Chronosync is happily backing up the data now and when that is  
finished I will install the other 2 drives and use the program once  
again to make those my backup drives.  Gotta love Chronosync, every  
morning about 4 AM it does it's job and makes sure I have a full   
synced backup of all my data.

Just a message from Doug...
