Mounting a second drive that already has RH8 on it.
Hello All,
This is my first post so please bear with me. I am running RH 8 on an HP tc2100 Server.
The original config had a 40 gig HD. I recently bought an 80 gig HD and installed RH8 on it.
The problem is how to get the original drive mounted. If I hook up both drives and try to boot, the system locks up, probably because both drives are identified as hda... I can use one or the other but not both. I want to get the old 40 gig drive mounted so that I can move the data to the 80 gig drive and then reformat the 40 gig drive for storage and backup. Yes I tried changing the jumper to "slave" but that didn't make a difference. I was wondering if I could connect just the 40 gig drive, then boot using the install disks and rename the /boot and / partitions as something else then hook up both drives and try to bring up the system. Any ideas? I don't want to lose the stuff on the 40 gig drive.
