Hi,

i want to add another harddrive, but if i do it ubuntu refuse to start. :(

i have 2x 120 GB IDE drive (/dev/sda & /dev/sdb).

now i want to add a 320 GB SATA drive but i see that the newly installed
drive is /dev/sda.

how do i fix this?

greets


You have an old BIOS and it can't handle a SATA hard drive. My
suggestion is to put it all on the 380 GB SATA drive and then unplug the
two 120 GB drives. I did this with my old BIOS and now it is fine :-)
