Hosed up my Disk Configuration - Now What?
« on: November 20, 2010, 05:10:55 PM »
Howdy,

Boy, I think I screwed myself here.  My fault.  Didn't check what I should have.

On my server, in the BIOS I set it up so that my sata HD's read as IDE's.  You know, when I check the drives they are identified as hda and hdb.

If I switch them over in the BIOS so that they are identified as Sata drives, I guess sda and sdb, does that mess up my whole server?  Do I have to reinstall SME?

I am thinking I just bought myself another day of reconfiguring here.

It's OK to beat me up on this one.  I have it coming.

no, it's harmless, there's no action on disks
