Thanks Duke,

No its not working even after removing the new disk. Later i tried booting the system from cdrom however no luck.

Then i tried execute following

# reset-all

#probe-scsi-all

< nothing as output>

# probe-ide

nothing comes up in either or primary or secondary

Later i removed the old disk and tried with new disk and run the command probe-scsi and it identified new disk and cd

i do not have have OS one the new disk

please help

I looks like you have messed up the primary/secondary drive configurations, and when you have both drives (old and new) both are set as primary, probably using the jumpers on the disks themselves.

Can you get back to this configuration easily? If so please post the probe-ide settings from this configuration.
