So, I cloned my hard drive using Clonezilla. a 640 gb to 1 TB. I go to my bios to boot to my 1 TB. so I want to make sure I'm on the new drive not the old so, Did a search on how to change my settings and found this link.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
following the steps to verify my grub version and its 0.97. I've verified this on startup just to be sure. following the instructions in "Changing the Disk that Grub is installed to"
first step $ df /boot worked fine, got the following:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdd1 605649876 436738112 138146488 76% /
It looks like my old drive and I continued with the instructions (later on I found out through Gparted that this is my new drive).
now the trouble starts.
I tried the next step: cat /boot/grub/device.map
and it came up empty. all other instructions in my searches came up with the same, which is to see the device.map.
so now I'm confused. why isn't device.map found then? I've verified that grub is 0.97. What I found interesting is that 9.10 should be using grub2 but mine isn't. could it be because I've been doing upgrades instead of a clean install?
Also, I still have the old drive attached but I can't see it in Places but I see it in Gparted. Why doesn't this show up in Places?
My apologies to those that may reply that this was answered before. I've been at it for a few hours and I'm exhausted. I did do a lot of searches. If it's out there I didn't find it. possibly the terms I used didn't match.
