everything is copied over to the new drive. grub-install is kicking me however. # grub-install /dev/sdb1 grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map. i have found this link, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622?page=0,0 but it requires a floppy disk, which my cd-rom lacking laptop has no hope of having. how can i go about installing grub with the new drive connected externally? also, if all of the grub files are located in /boot/grub, and all the kernels are the same, and the new larger drive has the boot flag, why is it that the disk will not boot? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
