Hi folks,
I've got an Asus X7BJ-something laptop here that by default (i.e. when

Hi there!
There is a PC with a 160 GB SATA drive, and I want to replace it with one of
about 1 TB in size. Would this work?
- attach 2nd drive via SATA port or USB->SATA convertor
- boot from rescue CD

- remove sda, attach sdb to where sda was
- reboot

Hi,
since a few weeks I have a strange effect with my USB stick.
According to fdisk there is one partition on it
/dev/sde1 38 7839719 3919841b W95 FAT32
which I haven't changed for a long time.
Whenever I insert this stick, the kernel log shows
/dev/sde but not /dev/s
34 matches
