Here's the issue.
Right now I have a 30gig IDE HDD drive installed with Mint. I've got a 6gig with nothing on it.
30gig is set as master and 6 is set as slave.
Now when i try to just boot with the 30gig it gives me a boot disk error. When i put the 6gig on it lets me boot right into mint.
But mint isnt installed on the 6 its installed on the 30.
I go into File system manager, and it says that the disk is reading from the 30.

Any Ideas????

What is your Boot Loader?

if it is GRUB then you need to edit GRUB's Device Map...

found here: /boot/grub/device.map

looks like this:

(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/sda
(hd1)   /dev/sdb

where hd0 = 30gb drive and hd1 = 6gb drive, but make sure of this first...

then remove the line that contains the HD1 info... safe it out... and then power down take out the drive and reboot...

Note: you need to be ROOT to edit the file...

Thats what it should look like is your code?

I'm not sure I'm supposed to be putting in the lines of sda and sdb ?

I understand that hd0 would be the 30, but what would i put in that hd0 line to make it hit the 30?

(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb

is what grub displays

 

[BadBigBen]

take a look at what the 30gig is mounted as, it should be SDA...

but I do not know your set up, and that is why you should confirm this first before removing the (hd1) /dev/sdb line...

Did you install GRUB on the mbr of the 30gig or 6gig?
