Fedora 11 System - Failed Hard Drive Removed, and Boot gets GRUB Hard Disk Error
- by Mindful
Greetings,
I have a machine with a 120GB ATA drive that has what I thought to be non-essential data on it. I also have a 320GB SATA hard drive with the OS/Application/Files (good data I want to keep). My 120GB ATA is failing I believe, as my computer kept slowing to a halt. However, when I move the drive from BIOS my computer will not start, says "GRUB Hard Disk Error".
I know that my Fedora system has an LVM setup. I am looking to just remove the 120GB drive from "the mix", and just have one hard drive. How do I recover ?
Thank you. I have access to a Linux Live CD right now and can make any changes. However, it won't boot into my OS - it fails.
UPDATE: here's my Grub.Conf
