10. Save your data from the other disks

Why

Now you are working with Linux on an almost empty disk.

We will add the other disks to the system. But be carefull: any disk you are going to add wil be formatted ! So save your data first !

How

You can insert the other disk[s], and power-up the system. Be sure to boot from the newly installed kernel. Alter the disk order in the Bios if necessary, or you may make the other disks non-bootable to be sure: Then reboot again.

When you have the other disks mounted as well, you can move your data around. The current boot-disk is almost free, so use it. You must at least clean 1 entire disk, one of both that are supposed to be a boot disks. Then you can continue installation, even with the other disk[s] missing. Add the rest later. Put the non-empty disks in a safe place for the moment, and ignore them until after the installation is completed.
You're all by yourself here

So in this document, from now on I assume you have saved all data onto the current boot-disk, and all other disks (at least 1) can be formatted. (the disks containg valueable dat are stored elswhere to be sure).
