I cannot boot my linux mail server after I ghost to a bigger HDD drive
For getting more disk space, I gost my Linux mail server harddrive to a bigger drive. The ghost process looks absolutely perfect. but after that, I couldn't boot the machine (but I can boot it up from my linux boot floppy)
When I boot from harddrive, the only massage on my screen is "GRUB" at the left-top handside. and then the machine shut itself down. but boot from floppy seems to be fine. the machine runs normal as before. How can I fix it? Please help!!!
Here is files on my floppy disk, it might give you some clues:
boot.msg
initrd.img
ldlinux.sys
syslinux.cfg
vmlinuz
I checked my disk partition table. I don't see any changes other than the size bigger than before.
thanks
