Yes, I re-attached it the same way. It is a SATA drive, not SCSI, but I guess linux sees SATA drives as different from IDE and labels them with sda, sdb, etc. I have no SCSI devices and no other SATA drives in the box. Just two other IDE hard drives.<br><br><b><i>"tv@wilson.cx" <tv@wilson.cx></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Hi:<br><br>Did you re attache the drive to exactly the same controller and position?<br> The "sda" can determined by the controller, cable connection postion and<br>the SCSI IS set by pin jumpers on the drive.
