Thanks for the quick feedback.

Is there a way to set up the server to use the existing volume files, or do
I have to use voldump?  If the latter is the case, then is there a Windows
version of voldump (I haven't been able to find it after installing on my
Windows desktop), or do I have to use Linux (which I can do, but for some
reason SuSe isn't recognizing that the disk is attached, so I'd have to use
a roundabout method to copy the files over to where SuSe can find them).
