I installed linux on a second hard drive. Windows xp is on the first. When I set my bios to boot to my second hard drive. (ide1) I get an eror message when booting linux. It says Can't find ext3 filesystem on DEV ide0 (3.1). What causes this?
When I physically put my linux hard drive on the first connector of my ide cable (ido 0) and set my bios to boot to ide 0 it will boot up fine but I want it to be on the second connector because I will be booting to windows mostly.
Please help.

ps: I changed the jumpers so I don't think that is the problem.
 
I am using lilo. I tried editing lilo.conf to make it work but it says I dont have write permission. How do I log on as an administrator (or whatever its called) so I can edit this file?
 
I wonder if changing that setting in the BIOS may be affecting the /etc/fstab. When it was installed (computer set to boot off of ide0) the linux installation was on hdb(second drive?), but when he sets the BIOS to boot off of ide1, Linux thinks the drive is hda... No help really, just a thought since Ive never delt with the problem...
