Edit /etc/fstab and remove the lines that relate to the removed hard disk.
ie: primary master= hda primary slave= hdb secondary master = hdc secondary slave = hdd if you have necessary directories like /var or /usr etc on that drive, then you have to move them.. so copy the directories onto one of your partitions on you other drive, and edit fstab to reflect the new location. I just removed a harddrive from my box, it had 3, I removed the middle one, and all I had to do, was edit fstab and change all lines saying hdc to hdb, then I shutdown and moved the hdc drive from secondary master to primary slave.. and rebooted, it all worked perfectly. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Fireman71 Sent: Friday, 9 November 2001 5:28 PM To: Newbie Mailing List Mandrake Subject: [newbie] Removing a second harddrive...how? Greetings, I am refurbishing an older computer for a christmas present and would like to take my second harddrive from my linux machine and use it as the primary in the other. How should i go about telling linux that the drive is no longer there? Thanks, Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
