The other HDs are /dev/hda, which does present boot duty and /dev/hdb, containing / etc. Before moving files from /dev/hdb, which apparently has an un-fixable boot sector, to /dev/sda, I'd like to be able to boot using the SATA drive then ditch /dev/hda. I note grub doesn't like root(sd0,1), returns "Error 23: Error while parsing number". But what do I call it? hd0 and hd1 are taken. -mw __________________________________ Yahoo!
