I am trying to upgrade my system from 500GB drives to 1TB.
I'm going to guess that there are no IDE drives that have 4096 byte physical sectors, but it's worth confirming you don't have such a drive because the current partition scheme you've posted would be sub-optimal if it does have 4096 byte sectors.
The partition table was originally created by the installer.
Well, the CentOS5 installer and partitioning utility (parted) predate Advanced Format drives. I'd check to see whether you have such a drive.
Version : 0.90.00
Therefore 0xfd is correct.
I'm willing to give that a try. The device.map looks good to me: (hd0) /dev/hde (hd1) /dev/hdg
It is old, but the drives are still connected to the same connectors, so it should still be valid.
I think you need to confirm that the device.map is correct. I just don't remember the command to figure out the mapping.
How would I go about pointing it at the partition?
What I am currently doing is this: device (hd0) /dev/hdg root (hd0,0) setup (hd0)
setup (hd1,0)
It's hd1 if your device map is correct and hdg is hd1. And then ,0 is for the first partition assuming that's an ext3 boot partition.
