Hello all, I am currently having trouble getting my computer to boot. I recently decided to install a larger, faster, hard drive. Since this hard drive was larger and faster, I decided that I wanted to make it my master drive, and make my old drive my slave. I took the old hard drive out, and installed Red Hat Linux 8.0. I then reconnected the old drive, transferred files, etc.
The problem is that when the new drive is connected, I never get the grub display screen. The BIOS executes appropriately, and then the computer just sits there, like it is waiting for something. When the old drive is not connected, the computer boots fine, however. Even if the old drive is turned off in the BIOS Setup, if it is connected, I have this problem. I did make a boot diskette, and I can boot from that. I have tried several things to fix the problem, including reinstalling grub, making the old /boot partition no longer bootable, and even changing the label of the old /boot partition. I even tried to delete the old /boot partition altogether, but nothing has solved the problem yet. I am stumped as to what could be the problem. It might very well be hardware/BIOS related, but I don't think it is. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be and/or how I can fix it.
