First thing to do is put the new drive on the IDE-1 channel as master.
Thank you for the reply. I deliberately put the drive on that channel because almost all of the data that I will be copying to it will be coming from my /home directory which is on /dev/hdd1. Have I made a wrong assumption about this?
I suspect if you change the dvdrw to hdc, your programs will again see a drive.
You may have to manually add your fstab entries, but you will at least have the hardware problem straight.
/etc/fstab was updated by the 'repair' system and looks to me as if it should work as the hardware is configured now. Am I wrong in thinking this? I would really like to know what other elements of the puzzle I am in ignorance of that are causing this problem to come about. What other systems are there that hold hardware configuration info. Is there anything I need to 'refresh'? -- Colin@SpudULike.me.uk
