Hi Andrew thank you
could you give me more info? i try to fdisk the 1st hardrive and can't see any bootable flag on it! But i did try to set the bootable flag on the 2nd harddrive. but it also can't boot! how can I install the bootloader on the 2nd harddrive? can you give me more info? Thank you This is the 1st harddrive The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 243 1951866 83 Linux /dev/hda2 244 486 1951897+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 487 2918 19535040 83 Linux /dev/hda4 2919 9729 54709357+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 2919 4134 9767488+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 4135 4256 979933+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 4257 4864 4883728+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 4865 9729 39078081 83 Linux Command action a toggle a bootable flag --- Andrew Sackville-West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 17, 2007 at 11:54:52AM -0800, ann kok > wrote: > > Hi all > > > > I use tar to copy from one harddrive to 2nd > harddrive > > this doesn't do what you think it does. it only > copies files from one > hard drive to another. > > > > then i put the harddrive to another same harddrive > > computer. how can I make it bootable? > > > > you need to edit the partition table to make the > particular partition > bootable *and* you need to install a boot loader in > either the MBR or > in the partition's BR. > > A > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
