I have been using Linux for some years but my experience seems to fail me here
I'm migrating my O/S + data to a new SATA drive and I have set my BIOS Boot priority for
my new drive as top.
I assumed I set my grub root command to boot off this drive as per device.map
which is here: (note I want to boot (hd2)
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
~
Initially I tried
root (hd2,1)
but I got Error 22: partition not valid
Arrggg.
here is Partition table for /dev/sdc (root is part#2) I hope
