írta: Trying to move a 12.1 x64 install from one drive (1.5tb SATA existing) to the other (2tb SATA new). Have copied the partitions to the new drive (using GParted, suse partition now sdb4 instead of sdb3 - created extended partition which was named sdb3... sdb1+2 are windows partitions) Going to leave both disks in the PC. Questions: If I change the boot disk order in the BIOS, does this change the reference to the disks? ie does the new disk change from (1) to (0) in the device.map file? What files do I need to edit in grub (menu.lst, grub.conf, device.map)
Thanks for the replies. Basically ended up copying the OS's to the new drive, change the SATA connectors, disconnect the old disk, boot from the install disk and reinstall grub on the new disk (similar to this, I think):
grub grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit Reboot, then shutdown, reconnect the other drive, fix up fstab and all OK... Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
