Have you partitioned the "new" disk with it in location? The reason I ask is I have made the mistake you may have made more then once. If you move a drive which has been partitioned in any other position then /dev/hda the drive may not have a partition marked active. I recomend you check to make sure you have an active partition. As a side note, all will seem to work well outside the lack of booting. (Also if you have a sighted person arround check the bios setting. It can mistake lilo for a virus. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Cluelessness There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots
