Have you actually tested this by removing the first hd and booting? Depending on the BIOS I believe that the fallback drive will be called hdc by the BIOS but will be hdd in the system. That was with RHEL3, but worth testing.


Hi Bill,

I did not try this particular combination. I shut the box down, removed the failed drive (hda) and installed it's replacement and proceeded from there.

Once I had discovered that hdc had no grub installed, after running:

grub> device (hd0) /dev/hdc

grub> root (hd0,0)

grub> setup (hd0)

I set the BIOS to boot from hdc and it all worked.

Regards,

Richard
