    Ok i quit. I have 2 nice 160Gig HD's that are stuck with LVM volumes and I asked everwhere how to remove them to have my drives back to brand new status- NO OS installed or anything. peeps just said run fixmbr and install any MS OS u want. Right.
    The effects of trying out open-e dss have been a super time waster,, please give me what I need to move on. I don't care why it happened,,me or your product.

    Please advise.

    Go to the Console screen and enter the Extended tools function by doing the following
    CTRL + ALT + X then select Delete content of units and select the vg00.
    All the best,

    Yes Todd, the LVM was still there from the original install and I spent alot of time and tools trying to remove the lvm to start over. I looked through the forums and docs,,there was nothing there about reinstalling or removing orig.lvm vol's, etc.
    SO, there's no way to get to the commands you suggest if the 2nd install never gets to that point due to the old LVM. sits at 73% and won't finish fresh install.
    I still think the doc's steps to join is not right (works for some I guess) based on many posts for dss smb-ADS help like mine.
