Aloha Gerald,

I think the issue was that I forgot to put that new drive in when I 
first built the system.  So I had a deffective RAID right from the 
get go.  Then the drive you gave me already had an image on it.  So I 
just fdisked it.  Then I put it in.  All is working beautifully now 
because I just rebuilt the system.  I was able to transfer my data 
within 1.5 hours and I am ready to put the system into the data 
center as soon as the RAID finished synchronizing.
