    If you open the G540 case, (carefully pry up the corners) you can physically swap the drives by removing 2 screws. Easy Peasy. You could even leave out the damaged drive and send it to Gecko for repair.

    I did not realize how easy it was to take apart.
    I swaped the A & Z axis.
    Left the bad drive out, will try to return for repair when i get
    everything up and running. I might screw up something else.

    Thank You
    Bob
