Install hdd (remove a CD drive or whatever is there), fdisk it, creating 2 partitions, copy /boot to hda1 and /Monday to hda2, shut down, take out hda, place hdd in it's place and boot. Just make a bootdisk first and reinstall the bootloader once finished. You'll also have to play with the master/slave jumpers on the new drive to make it a slave to copy and a master to replace. There are also ways to do it a little quicker and easier using a rescue disk or a livecd, such as knoppix. That way you could even chroot to sda2 and reinstall the bootloader without having to use a bootdisk. >. Kind of weird that I have an hdb2, but no > hdb1...unless the hdb1 is the swap drive. That's the most likely reason. You can find out with 'fdisk -l /dev/hdb' and you'll see one marked 'linux swap' if that's the case. > Thanks > Steve > > At 11:19 AM 8/12/2004, Jason Staudenmayer wrote: > > >It would be a partition on hda, looks like you have 2 scsi drives and > >3 ide right? > >So ide drive one/primary needs to be fixed. > > > >Jason > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Steve Buehler [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxx] > > > Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 12:14 PM > > > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > > Subject: hard drive detection > > > > > > > > > Ok.
