http://p-two.net/hard-drive/hard-drive.html That got me started, there's also the Hard-Disk Upgrade Mini-HOWTO, at http://www.tldp.org Copying everything over will work (you used cp -a, right?), but you have to do a few more things...please anyone correct me if I'm wrong but at least this gets the ball rolling: 1. Boot from install disc, at the prompt type 'linux rescue' 2. chroot /mount/sysimage 3. grub-install /dev/[drive designation like hda] 4. Edit /etc/fstab to reflect the partitions you're using 5. Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf ... You can search around for exactly what needs to change, shouldn't be too much. I don't know a whole lot about grub, but mine looks like this (booting from /dev/hde1 as it's an UltraATA drive): default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9) Athlon Optimized root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.9.img Hope I've helped, I'm sure there's more to be said about this and if I'm wrong (probably) please tell me.
