OpenSUSE Install :: Adding Extracted ISO To Grub From Hard Drive?
Dec 7, 2010When I first installed the openSUSE, I had to extract whole iso to sda4, because there was some kind of with CD (scratched or something like that), Now I want to add this part to grub, so that when I want to reinstall it, it will be ready for me. I tried doing this with yast, but could't figure out whole thing.
My current setup:
kernel image: (hd0,4)/boot/i386/vmlinuz-xen
initial ram disk : (hd0,4)/boot/initrd-xen
root-device:/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK8032GAX_76HE0769T-part4
vga-mod:1024x768, 24 bits (mode 0x318)
optional parameters: resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK8032GAX_76HE0769T-part4 splash=silent quiet showopts
This tries to do it, but gives error while trying to boot.

Slackware :: Adding Another Hard Drive Changes Drive Id's In /dev/sd*
Mar 29, 2011I have a dual boot computer with slackware_64 13.1 and windows.
I have a 120G ide hard drive that I need to add to my computer.
Adding this hard drive changes the drive device id's and slackware won't boot.
as installed, my drives look like this:
When I add the extra hard drive, it looks like this:
I know there is a way to make an initrid and to use the uuid identifications for the drives, and even use labels instead of the long uuid's, but I'm unfamiliar with this process, so I was hoping somebody that's done this before might point me in the right direction.
Ubuntu :: Adding New Hard Drive ?
Oct 23, 2010I am having a problem booting my PC after adding a new SATA drive.
The PC has 3 drives.
SDA is a 500Gb SATA drive
SDB is a 1Tb SATA drive
SDC is a 160Gb IDE drive
The PC boots from the 160Gb IDE drive.
If I now install a 2Tb SATA drive the boot fails, it starts off OK as in the Motherboard boots from the IDE drive but sometime into the boot the / directory cannot be found.
If I boot from a live disk and check out the disks with gparted, I find that the new 2 Tb SAta drive is SDC and he 160Gb IDE drive is now SDD. I expect this is my problem but I cannot work out how to change it.
Note fstab is using UUID designations - not sure if this is relevant.
Hardware :: Adding A Second Hard Drive?
Jun 24, 2010I've just bought a reconditioned PC but the HDD is of very small capacity. I have the hard drive from my old

General :: Adding The CentOS To Hard Drive?
Apr 29, 2011I have an old Linux server, but now the hard drives are reformatted. I want to use this as a test server before I do anything on our live server. Our live server is running CentOS 5 so I would like to install CentOS 5 on this server, however the mother board does not seem to recognize the CD ROM any more, and I have tried other CD ROMs - So, the .iso file I down loaded from CentOS's mirrors can't be installed that way.I have a windows machine and I was wondering if I could just dump the .iso file onto one of the reformatted hard drive and then reinstall it into the server?

I've also tried loading the live CD, but my internal CD drive is broken, and the external one I have doesn't seem to recognized during boot time.

Mar 4, 2010I have a Hard Drive that has a corrupted file system and i have tried the usual MS Windows fixes, chkdsk and a number of recovery tools inc Dos recovery tools and failed.
The Drive is an MS Windows drive with an NTFS file system.
chkdsk scans and after several hours fixing numerous problems eventually gives up and fails to complete.
The directory "My Documents" contains several GB of data and displays that this is true. When trying to access the directory, access is denied because its corrupt. Using Windows and Dos recovery tools i can view the contents of the directory sometimes! but cannot copy out any of the data, the applications return messages saying no can do basically.
I would like to try to use Linux to recover the data.
Problem number one is i have never tried to add a hard drive to an existing Linux system before, how do i go about adding a new drive?
The 2nd problem is, is there a Linux application that i can use to attempt to repair and recover the corrupt data on this drive or more specifically in the "My Documents" directory.
OpenSUSE Install :: GRUB Freezes After Adding SATA Drive?
Jan 15, 2010So I installed SUSE 11.1 a few weeks back with two SATA drives andit's been working great. I recently received another SATA drive and wanted to add the space to my /home directory. I installed the drive and then booted up my computer. It goes through BIOS and POST just fine but when I get to GRUB my computer just hangs there. It doesn't throw any errors, it just sits until I hard reboot it. If I disconnect the extra SATA drive and then try to boot again everything starts successfully. I've done a little bit of searchingbut couldn't find much on this problem.pretty new to linux so I could definitely be missing something. Let me know if more details are needed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Move Smaller Hard Drive To Partition On A Larger Hard Drive?
Mar 16, 2010My parents bought a new hard drive for a laptop that I've owned for several years. It's much larger than the current one, so I plan on splitting it up to dual boot it with Ubuntu.I have no problem with partitioning a drive (I always keep a LiveCD handy), but my question is this: how can I go about moving the existing partition to the new drive? This is a laptop, so I can't simply plug the new drive into another slot.
Also, even if I manage to move it, will Windows still work on the new drive in a larger partition? I've had this laptop for quite a while, and I've lost the recovery discs that came with it a long time ago. I also have a lot of software without CDs to reinstall them with. This makes not reinstalling Windows a high priority.
Fedora Installation :: EIDE Hard Drive Recognized As Sda Hard Drive
May 1, 2010Trying to install Fedora 12 using the 6 CDs. Trying to install on an older x86 box.Problem is that when detecting my hard drive, Fedora 12 recognizes it as a sda hard drive instead of hda hard drive. I have no SCSI connected to my computer what so ever. It's an old fashion PATA Western Digital hard drive.If I proceed with the install, Fedora 12 only installs 200MB of the OS from the first CD only. No options for additional software or anything.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Install :: Unplug Windows Hard Drive While OpenSUSE Installs?
Jun 14, 2010I want to dual boot openSUSE 11.2 and Windows 7. I already have Windows 7 installed but I have encountered multiple issues in the past with trying to make dual boots. Usually when I install Linux, GRUB decides it wants to go into world domination mode, and "breaks" my Windows installation. I have reason to believe this is because the distros I use come with legacy GRUB, (v0.97) and for some odd reason it lacks commands such as "update-grub" etc. This means I cannot add Windows 7 to the boot menu without going into extreme complications, which have NEVER, I repeat NEVER succeeded. When I boot the Windows drive directly, I get some error about GRUB not finding the device, and it puts me into a grub rescue command line. Now I am no expert in this field at all, but wouldn't that mean that GRUB wrote itself to the MBR of...oh I don't know, ALL of my hard drives? I really want to install openSUSE 11.2, but from bad experience I am really put off as I know that it ships with legacy GRUB v0.97.I am also running Fedora 13 at the moment, I have quite an experimental dual boot running..been trying to get GRUB 2 for hours now, it is definitely there but no commands work, "upgrade-grub-from-legacy" and "update-grub" return with command not found. I've heard this is just a bug but can anybody confirm that there will definitely be a way for me to "fix" my windows installation after it gets "broken" by GRUB?Second idea, unplug my windows hard drive while openSUSE installs?

Jan 24, 2010I bought a "WD My Passport Essential 320 GB" usb drive.

The drive is a bit strange though, it has some software on it for protecting data, which I wont need, but can't get rid of it neither. However when I connected it to my laptop running ubuntu 9.10 x86_64, the drive automounted ok, so I guess I must be missing some additional software on my suse. The drive was initially NTFS formated, but I did reformat it to FAT with ubuntu.
