Hi Sebastian,
>>>>>>>>>>The first step is going to be to get the new disk into the machine
>>>>>>>>>>and
have the hardware working. Are these old-style IDE drives, SATA, or
something else? Are there any CD-ROM drives or other disk-like devices
in the computer?
Also send the output of "cat /proc/partition" and "cat /etc/fstab".>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thanks. The drive, which is an old-style 40GB IDE drive, is in the machine and
set up as slave to the Linux drive i.e. it should be hdb.
The computer also has a couple of CD/DVD drives which are set as master and
slave on the second IDE input to the board. At the moment the Windoze drive
isn't being seen by linux although it was when it was in the machine originally
- I originally had it as a supplementary drive for linux in this machine but
took it out to sort out another computer which is when I put windoze on it as a
stand-alone installation.
/proc/partitions says...
