with info. I have a compressed disk image of the 250G drive, and also have a compressed partition image of the partitions with the LVM partition. I was able to copy this partition to my home machine taking about 11 hours, and was able to uncompress the lzop image. I was then able to use losetup
/dev/loop0to load the image, and pvscan then shows it, but it has the same name as the regular LVM volumne on the machine.
Well, that's relatively easy to fix. Pick a unique name for your home system's volume group; change fstab and grub.conf; mkinitrd; boot from a rescue CD; vgrename; cross your fingers; reboot. Then you ought to be able to finish the job you started.
...and don't accept the default VolumeGroup00 name again.
