I currently have running on my computer Kubuntu 10.04. I have two physical IDE hard drives with the system on Drive 1 and '/home' on Drive 2. To complicate matters there is a 3rd drive in this machine. It is a SATA drive and when I set-up 10.04 from 9.10 I moved a lot of data onto this drive first. To be safe, (I thought), I un-plugged this drive when I installed 10.04 but after I had finished if I plug this drive in again the system will not boot at all. So can someone point me in the right direction to.... 1) Get this SATA drive working again under 10.10 WITHOUT loss of the data on this drive. 2) What do I need to do to do a fresh install of 10.10 and NOT overwrite the existing data in '/home' on my second drive? Thanks for any suggestions!! Ian Whitfield. <div class="moz-signature"> </div> </body> </html>
