No questions are embarrassing -- only the ones that aren't asked and end in disaster! So, please -- ask away!

So... a few things. You must have installed a SATA board into the machine, because the Sawtooth doesn't support SATA drives natively. I do *not* know if it's possible for a Sawtooth machine to boot from SATA, so do NOT assume and erase anything until you've booted from the drive and have verified that everything is OK.

But -- yes. If you do "Backup - all files" you *should* be able to just select it and boot from it, if it's supported.

I'd also name the drive the same as the original boot drive. You can differentiate by size -- this'll ensure that aliases resolve as expected.

No need to remove the volinfo.database unless you run into the problem listed. (But thanks for *reading* the FAQ!)

Thanks for asking before, too -- hopefully all this sounds reasonable.
