[plug] hard drive changes

[Ben New]

Steve,

You've probably just got to change your /etc/fstab.  Your old config 
probably had the DVD-ROM on secondary slave (hdd) (since you had 3 HDD 
taking up a, b and c). I'm assuming the DVD-ROM is now on either primary 
slave (hdb) or secondary master (hdc), since you only have the 2 HDD's. 
  You probably just need to remove one entry from fstab and change one 
letter (d=>b or d=>c) in the DVD-ROM entry.

Also check that the jumper settings are correct for the hard drives and 
DVD-ROM, i.e. that it is set to master if it is master or slave if it is 
slave.  Having to do this is the most painful experience IMHO but 
necessary nonetheless.
