Dear Sir,
this is ganesh,
i sugest that you need to check the DVD rom and HDD configuration, because your
motherboard may not have 2 IDE ports, you need to set the HDD as master and DVD
rom as Slave
thankyou,
Best Regards
S GANESH

Hi all,
I have a debian OS (x86) on an IDE-HDD with / partition mapped on
/dev/hda2 and with boot flag set.
Now i am shifting this disk to a new system with better hardware
(memory,core2duo) and BIOS too which has support for SATA and IDE
disks. Right it doesnt have any SATA drive fixed this disk with
debian OS. Now it doesnt recognize the boot parition on the IDE-HDD
i suppose, and is stuck with error:
"No bootable device, insert boot disk and press any key"
But when I boot off the GnuParted Live rescue CD, it gives me an
option at grub menu to boot from the MBR it found after scanning.
if i choose that option, it OS boots fine.
can someone tell me whats going on and what could be the fix ?
regards,
KM
