shift hard disk from primary IDE channel to secondary IDE channal
Wellcomes All,
some times ago I 've installed a Debian ditribution on an Hard Disk who was set as Primary Master. Few days ago, I 've decided to install another Hard Disk with a different Operating System. When I did that, I turned off the old hard disk, and I mouted the new one on the Primary IDE Channel.
Now the problem is that I can't boot the OS which is set on the Secondary Master, and every times I want to execute the boot form the hard disk who is on the Secondary Channel I have to switch it on the Primary .
So, I want to install a boot manager, but the problem is that the File System will be change name.... My ask is: what I have to do, and what files I have to modify, overwrite on the old OS (Debian) in order to work correctly?
Many thanks in advance.
