right, let me explain this a bit more exhaustive:
You probably need to switch a jumper on your former
master and new slave disk. (I assume IDE)
Then, you will have:
new master: /dev/hda
new slave: /dev/hdb
More assumptions:
you have the following partitions on your new slave:
1st: /boot formely /dev/hda1
2nd: swap
3rd: / formerly /dev/hda3
this will become (ignore the swap for the moment)
1st: /boot formely /dev/hdb1
3rd: / formerly /dev/hdb3
If the data, you want to use sits on /home/mydata,
you will have to do the following:
create a new directory, for example
/home/mydata
add the following to you fstab:
/dev/hdb3 /home/mydata reiserfs defaults 0 2
^^^^^^^^
^^^^ depends on your actual file system of course
The new disc will be mounted at boot time and/or with
mount -av
