In your BIOS, can you disable ide1?

The bootloader still thinks the drive is in its origional location. You can use the 2nd CD as a rescue mode and change the bootloader and /etc/fstab to the drive's new location.
hda - 1st IDE controller master
hdb - 1st IDE controller slave
hdc - 2nd IDE controller master
hdd - 2nd IDE controller slave
and so on.

Are you using lilo or grub?

You need to edit the /etc/lilo.conf file and rerun lilo to save changes.

How can I use slackware CD and start with CD edit the /etc/lilo.conf
Now I edit and save the /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo it will display error message.
