I am upgrading the HDD on my RH9 box. I used Drive Image 2002 to clone the drive (disk-to-disk copy in their terminology). The copy appeared to go well, the two partitions and unpartitioned swap space were recognized correctly on my old drive and each partition appeared to copy correctly. (source was master and new drive-destination was slave). I removed the original drive and setup the new one a master and upon booting got the message "operating system not present". I reconnected the old drive as master and the new drive as slave and the machine booted fine from the old drive. During boot, I "saw" the partitions on the new drive, failed to mount them but correctly identified them as "duplicate of boot partition/duplicate of / partition ...etc. This makes me think the copy was successful. So the big question is why won't the new drive boot. I did resize the partitions during the copy (boot, / and unpartitioned swap) which may have caused the problem. So the questions, should I not have done a resize, or perhaps just not on the boot partition? If that was not the problem, what else could cause the copy not to boot? I did get an error during the drive image process of error #1208 in inode_table, but after hitting OK it went on and indicated that it was updating the inode table on the new drive. So do I have a good copy that just needs configuration or should I wipe the new drive and start over? Help here will be greatly appreciated.
