Migrate primary disk (duplicate)

[alexandre.delay at free.fr]

I already did that.

as I told you, when I use sysinstall instead of fdisk, there is no problem.

I tried every combination:
   fdisk -I ad3 && fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr ad3
   fdisk -I ad3 && fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad3
   fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr -I ad3
   ...

the disk doesn't boot.

I also tried to install grub. It doesn't work either.

cheers
