Hi,
I wrote some time ago about a my linux disk that had crashed. The
contents could be saved and were put on another disk (same size
different brand). The new disk was not accessable from Windows anymore
(explore2fs), as the old one was. I also could not boot from it anymore,
tried that and the screen was filled with an endless string of "GRUB
GRUB GRUB..." which *was* my boot manager.
I tried the Live CD rescue option:

My guess is that the addressing on the Seagate is somehow different
than on the Maxtor, which makes it less straightforward to transfer a
whole disc image between the two. Is there a way to access the
contents of the old disc on the new disc (e.g. by running a liveCD and
then mounting the disc and re-installing Grub)?
Does anyone who's been in a similar situation know how to deal with this?
See if you can use a Knoppix disk or another Linux live CD to look at
that partition.
The Live CD was Ubuntu in this case (as Knoppix, it's Debian-based). In
the Live CD session, though, you're logged in as non-root, and the root
pwd is not given. Does that mean exit Live CD?
I also tried Ubuntu alternate install, which contains text-based
installation and rescue disk. These options all seem to want to interact
with/write to the disk before you can log in, which is not something
that makes me feel safe (without knowing what is actually written).
Does anyone know of a Live CD that permits you to do things in a
terminal and interact with your old linux system?
Many thanks
Alle Meije
