I just got new error during boot time.
It can not mount /dev/sdb1, sdb2 and sdb3, error about wrong file system
and bad superblock.
Can you please suggestion partitioning of this new 800GB drive?
Here is my grub file:
////////////////////////////////////////////
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.img

thank you so much for your help.
