SOLVED GRUB on wrong drive

[TheFuzz4]

Hey everyone,

Well my beast died last week so now after getting my new parts in today I did a fresh install. The problem is that my grub is located on the wrong drive now so I have to use the boot menu and tell it which drive to boot from. Does anyone know how or have some good links on how to move the grub over to the right drive or keep it from booting from the wrong drive? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: GRUB on wrong drive

Cant you just set that drive (the one with Grub) as active? That should cause it to boot with that drive. On my old motherboard, if I booted with only one drive connected, it would automatically set that drive as active. then I could reattach the other drives. Otherwise I keep a win98 boot disk around to use fdisk. I'm guessing you could do it with gparted in linux also, but not sure...

Re: GRUB on wrong drive

Ok so it turns out I might be slightly retarded. I didn't even think about the fact that while I was putting in the new power supply I powered it on without the hard drives plugged back in. So my bios set my Nvidia Raid up as the first boot device. So I realized this, this morning while in the shower (funny the things that hit you in the head when you least expect it) so after changing the boot order back to where it belongs all is now well. Changing the status of this to solved.
