if you have enough ram, stop the swap (swapoff), unset the swap file in fstab (write #on beginning of the swap line).
no swap is really needed
after that set any swap file on any disk (make swap, swap on) and re-enable the swap file

Thanks! There was 2G of ram and the server is under no load as it is being rebuilt so it never swaps. I had an old (very healthy) 20G drive. I just unplugged the cables from the 100G, plugged them into the 20G (laying in the bottom of the box for testing) and booted. System came up fine. Partitioned the new drive into 17G of ext3 and 2G of swap, deleted the old entries for the 100G from fstab and rebooted. Worked without a hitch. Shutdown and actually mounted the 20G in the case -- job done! Thanks JDD! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
