Ok a little back ground, I started my Alarm install on a separate 320 gig hard drive. Now that I have gotten a little more comfortable with it I want to move it to a 1.5 TB hard drive that already has most of my media on, in NTFS format. I have succesfully copied the whole install using rsync and booted from a different flash drive as a test.
On the 1.5 TB hard drive I used Gparted (live disk version) to add a new 10 gig partition in front of the already used space formatted for ext2. (This is after just trying windows 7 partition tool to add 10 gigs at the end). I did this thinking my new partition would be accessed first so that I can boot from it before it sees the media drive (the NTFS 1.49 partition).
Still don't think that it is accessing the alarm partition first since it never boots into alarm. If I use the separate 320 gig or flash drive to boot, the NTFS 1.49 partition shows us as dev/sdb1 and the alarm 10 gig partition shows up as dev/sdb2. I am sure this has something to do with not booting properly without the other boot drives. Anyone know how to fix this?
