I have NLM2 box with 3 hard drives. Can I take a small hard drive say an old 30 gig drive and transfer the nas install to that drive?
drive 0 has the nas install - 500 gb hdd
drive 1 has files - 500 gb hdd
drive 2 is a mirror of drive 1 - 500 gb hdd

yes is the simple answer - BUT - you will have to delete or at least de-commission the install on the 500gig drive - theres an option in the install to do that
am not sure what that will do to the data on that drive if anything - to be sure it is safe i would back it up first - may not be nessessery but better safe than sorry
Would it not be better to check if your motherboard will boot from USB and if so use a USB Pen Drive (it only needs 32Mb of space) and save yourself the HDD slot on the Mb.
Just a thought.
And a previous thread this type of problem was raised in that I believe you can destroy just the Config data on that drive See
