OK I have tried everything I can think of to get an image of this drive with no luck.  I have an idea to keep from having to reinstall everything but first some background:
 
OS: FC4
OS makeup: 3 drives, 1 CD
    Pri/Mst: /
    Pri/Slv: swap, /var (dead)
    Sec/Mst: /home
    Sec/Slv: CD
 
OK here is what I was thinking:  If I image the Pri/Mst and Sec/Mst drives, setup the new Pri/Slv drive like the one that died, install FC4 with the same partition makeup, then restore the Pri/Mst and Sec/Mst images.  Would this work?  I just do not want to have to reinstall PHP4, UW-IMAP, PROFTPD, and a few other non FC4 standard packages not to mention uninstalling things that I do not need or want on my server.
