Isn't hdb the one you removed because it broke. Actually you
removed hda, and altered connections so that the remaining drive,
which had been hdb, became hda.

Going way back in the history of this discussion, hda2 is a Linux LVM
partition, which contains data that is managed by the Logical Volume
Manager.
Knoppix does not by default deal with LVM partitions, although it can
be coerced into doing so.
Again, back to history, and something you can see from the booted
Fedora system, is that the LVM partition consists of one Volume Group,
containing two Logical Volumes, one of which is used as swap, and the
other as the root file system. This is the way that default Fedora
installations set up the disk nowadays.
