Moved W2k(hda) to new computer, now Gentoo(hdb) problems
 
OK, so i was dual booting W2k(hda) and Gentoo(hdb).

I just built a new computer and moved my W2K HD to the new computer and left the Gentoo HD in the old one. I then booted the Live Cd and set Grub up to boot Gentoo and that worked fine although I get an error on boot up (dont remember exactly, Im at work) and when I went into KDE and Gnome, they both looked like I just set them up. All my settings were gone. Also when I try to start an app, there is HD activity but it eventually stops and nothing happens.

How do I get everything to see that it is now hda instead of hdb. Is there a way to run the HD as hdb even though it is the only Hd in the computer?

And Ive already changed my fstab entries to hda

Did you edit fstab to remap /, /home etc ?

Sorry I didn't read the last line (DOH!)
Please post the error message when you get a chance.
These things tend to be important ;)
Also post fstab (or at least recheck it) loosing you settings tells me you haven't mapped the /home directory properly.

Ill post my fstab tonight when I get home. Should I also post the dmesg?

Just the fstab for now.

ok, well i guess i never rebooted the system after i changed the fstab cause everything is fine now.

Thanks for your help.
