Lets look at this (perhaps I have too much coffe also, and all that comes
is stupid).
If your disk is the slave in the first ide channel, it should be named hdb.
So I assume you have one other hd and a cdrom. Lets suppose:
Your hds are on the IDE 1: hda (the old) and hdb (as you should see it)
Your cdrom is at hcd (master at IDE 2).
And if your bios swaps your ide channels when booting from cd at IDE 2,
and hdb becomes hdd ?
