Hello!

I moved my harddrive fr=E5n = being secondary=20 master to primary slave on the motherboard. Both the harddrives is using = LBA=20 mode in BIOS (award).

No i am not sure what my harddrive is = called. This=20 is what my previous /etc/fstab looked like. But the /home directory was = not=20 commented out, i did this now because it doesn't work when i boot. I get = this=20 error message when i boot.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/dev/ad0s1a: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING = CHECKS

/dev/ad0s1a: Clean, blah = blah..

ad2: READ command timeout -=20 resetting

ata1: resetting done.

ata-master: WARNING: WAIT-READY=20 active=3DATA_ACTIVE_ATA

ad2: trying fallback to PIO = mode

ata1: resetting devices... = done.

When i do 'fdisk /dev/ad1' (which i = believe to be=20 my secondary slave) i get this:

Thankyou in advance
