Hi,

I'd just install Debian on new HD, but in case you're wondering about
mirorsav.fil, it's probably a hidden file, so that might be why you
can't easily see it.  Of course, this doesn't really matter if you go
with Debian on new HD.  As other poster said, use LILO to create entry
in MBR on master HD.

HTH and take care,

Daniel
