I need to change the way my system is connected to the motherboard, and when I do so, I get a stage 2 read error from grub. Basically, I had 2 harddrive on my ATA-100 connectors and I had to move one (with the boot loader) to a normal connector. Well, my linux drive was on the 2nd one (hdg).

Is the error because my linux drive is no longer hdg? I think it's hdf, and if it is, can I just edit menu.lst so it says:
title (hd1, 4)/vmlinux root=/dev/hdf6 ...

instead of the old config:
title (hd1, 4)/vmlinux root=/dev/hdg6 ...

Do I also have to edit device.map?
Is there anything else I have to change?

(or, is there a way to remove grub in linux? i CAN NOT remove it with fdisk /mbr or fixmbr).

to whoever replies,
thank you so much.

I believe just changing to hdf in menu.lst should do it. Won't hurt to try.

There is quite a bit of Grub reference material here http://support.calderasystems.com/caldera that my help. Just do a search for grub.
