installing new hd
Ok I'm not new at this but I feel like it at the moment!
OK I have a 75gb hd (incomming) sda1 which I want to change for a new 200gb. But Grub seems to have dumped some of its bits there :( So we start (when 75gb) is removed, but not normally. I will give you a layout as best I can, then just ask for what you need. Code:
johnh@tux:~$ df -h Code:
cp /dev/sda1 /dev/sdd1 |

To tell you the truth I don't understand too much of your post. If you have two devices, a 75 & a 200GB (which you seem to have partitioned to contain swap as well as a ext4 filesystem) all you need to do is to mount the 187GB partition to a temporary spot (e.g., /mnt/tmp), and copy the files/directories from incommng to /mnt/tmp, umount incoming, then change fstab to have incomming point at the big partition, mount incoming, and voila. I'm not quite sure what your reference to grub and booting had to do with any of the above. Cheers, Tink |

sussed it. it turned out that the drive with ftp on it and the dvd did not getalong together. some jumper problem. this made it not find anything.
so just made the ftp drive master and removed temp the dvd. cheers for your help |
