Choose the option to restore the MBR, and you should be able to boot from it. Put in the FC2 tray. Boot from CD1 (or the DVD) and run `linux rescue`. When it asks, mount your system and `chroot /mnt/sysimage`. Change all of the entries in /etc/fstab that reference /dev/hdb to /dev/hda. Run `grub-install /dev/hda`. If you get no errors, reboot and voila ;o) Forrest
