All you need to do is boot from the cdrom and edit /etc/fstab on the hardisk to reflect the new position on the harddisk .. and then use a bootfloppy or CD(if it allows) to boot into the harddisk .. and you are back in your old setup!! Don't forget to run lilo once you have booted in ... ( if you are on grub you should be able to edit the fstab from grub itself I think. so you don't even need a bootdisk/cdrom) My linux hard disk has been in all four possible IDE slots without me ever having to reinstall the OS! Reinstalling as a solution for a linux/*nix problem would have the lowest probability! These are operating systems that can even have their kernel updated without a reboot!! It's just a matter of knowing how it's done!
