> How should i go about telling linux that the drive is no longer there?
You'll need to check a couple of things. First, is the other drive housing a root or boot partition? If so, you'll need to reconfigure grub or lilo to make sure it's not using that drive, and if so you'll also have to move the corresponding data over from the second drive to the first. Check your /etc/fstab for references to the second drive (mount points, swap partition, etc) and adjust them so that only one drive is used. If you have any data / partitions etc mounted on the second drive you have to move them over to the first drive. What I usually have done in the past when relocating partitions is to tar/compress the partition into an available space someplace (i.e., the first drive), remake the partition if necessary, adjust the mount point(s), and then untar into the new partition. Of course, you need enough space to hold the partition temporarily. It's not all that difficult to do this - at least compared to Windows where you have to fix up all programs because they depend on drive letters ;(. > Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
