[ubuntu-uk] Seeing double with new hard drive

[Gareth France]

I have a dual hard drive setup in my laptop thanks to a secondary cradle 
where the DVD rom should be. I have decided to replace my primary hard 
drive as it is virtually dead. I have installed the new drive in the 
secondary caddy and begun to copy my home directory in it's entirety 
across to the new drive.

The old drive installed here was sdb and my primary drive sda, weirdly 
though now my primary is sdb and this new one is sda. I decided while 
waiting for the copy to complete I would have a nose around in the Disks 
utility. Firstly I was surprised to see that apparently both drives were 
exactly the same make and model. Something fishy is surely going on there!

Both drives have exactly the same SMART data, showing a pre-failure 
condition. In summary it appears that Disks is displaying two copies of 
my primary drive, rather than the genuine data for my second drive.

Where might I report this? And before I remove my primary drive and move 
on to installing Ubuntu is there anything I should do to gather data n 
this issue?
