How to fix Grub after moving arch to new drive [SOLVED]

I moved my Arch install (/ and /home partitions) to a new drive and I was wondering how to fix Grub so that it knows /boot is on the new drive. What I've done thus far is
create partitions on the new drive and dd my current / and /home partitions to them. The new partitions are bigger than the current ones, so I also re-sized the filesystems to fill the new partitions. My disk/partition setup is the following
/dev/sda1 2048 488392703 488390656 232.9G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT (Storage)
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT (System reserved)
/dev/sdb2 206848 102402047 102195200 48.7G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT (Windows 7)
/dev/sdb3 * 102402048 141472127 39070080 18.6G 83 Linux (Current Arch /)
/dev/sdb4 141472128 250069679 108597552 51.8G 83 Linux (Current Arch /home)
/dev/sdc2 * 206848 105064447 104857600 50G 83 Linux (New Arch /)
/dev/sdc3 105064448 234441647 129377200 61.7G 83 Linux (New Arch /home)
After I resized the filesystems, I then created a new grub.cfg file (on /dev/sdb3) that is aware of the new Arch system. I can boot to both my current and new Arch installs and run them fine, but ultimately I want to remove the current Arch install so I can make more room for my Windows 7 install. What do I need to do to grub, so it knows to use the new Arch system.

@Xyne - Thanks! Installing grub on my /dev/sdc did the trick. Because I dd'ed my old setup to a new drive, /boot/grub was already populated, so all I had to do was install and configure grub on the new drive via the following.
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sdx
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I used os-prober to find the other OS's (Windows 7 and my old Arch). After some testing, I will wipe my old Arch setup and then resize Windows into the free space.

[Solved]How to fix grub after Windows XP install?

I installed Windows XP on top of Arch in a different partition.
It looks something like this:
/dev/sda1 - XP
/dev/sda2 - Arch
/dev/sda3 - Swap
Grub is located on /dev/sda2/ in /boot/grub/
Windows XP obviously overwritten the mbr like it normally does.
I tried loading the arch live install cd, and trying grub-install /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 but it doesn't do anything.
I want to overwrite Windows XP's boot loader with grub and add XP as an option to boot. Can someone please give me noob friendly instructions on how to accomplish this with minimal effort? It's important I don't damage the XP or Arch partitions. Thanks for any help.

I fixed it! Nearly the same instructions as lucke gave but I just used the Arch Live cd. All I did was boot Arch Live cd, it presented me with grub and bunch of options. (I didn't even boot into the cd) just pressed C so it loaded the grub terminal.
Then:
find /boot/grub/stage1
Which outputs:
root (hdX,Y)
(In my case it was hd0,1)
Then:
root (hdX,Y)
[Don't forget there is space after root and (hdX,Y)]
Finally:
setup hd0

How do I import playlists after moving songs to new drive?

I got a new mac. I've moved all my songs to a new firewire drive. My old "iTunes Music Library.xml" references all the files on a different volume name. I want to get all my playlists back (so when I plug in my iPod I don't lose everything). Should I edit the xml file and find/replace the old volume name with the new one? Or is there a better way to do it? If I just import the xml file, I will have all the playlists but they'll be pointing to files that no longer exist.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alfredo

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

SoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot

NSoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot4 I recently moved my X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard to a different PCI slot to accommodate my new large PCIE graphics card.
Prior to moving the card, my?original SoundBlaster install went fine without any trouble. When I booted up after relocating the card,?it was not detected at all. So I uninstalled my SoundBlaster driver software and?rebooted the computer?thinking that was necessary to clear any hardware configuration settings from the old install. This made no difference. I then discovered my card was not seated properly and corrected it.
Next I installed the SoundBlaster driver software. The installation proceeded and finished with a request to restart the computer. Once I did, the computer detects my card and starts the hardware installation wizard asking if I want Windows to search online for driver software. It does not recognize the just installed SoundBlaster driver installation. I have a dual boot setup and this happens in both WinXP Pro and Vista 32 Home Premium.
What's wrong here?

Forget it folks...couldn't wait for any suggestions so I just cleaned off my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Works fine.

Something may have gone amiss on your iPhone.
To attempt to correct this follow these steps:
Backup your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
Use iTunes to completely restore your iPhone as Factory new.
Monitor battery usage to see if it is normal. If not, you may have a hardware problem - if so, contact Apple support.
Restore your iPhone from your backup above.
Check battery usage to confirm that it is still normal.

    I've got a MacBook Pro 1TB HD, the drive was damaged (probably dropped) after I formatted the new drive I was able to get the OSi onto the drive and it's now up and running..But prior to removing the old HD I was able to run CloneZilla to map the drive. The problem I'm having is getting the files and documents back on the new HD.
   I created a folder on the desk top and moved all the files and docs onto it, ( files / docs was originally burnt on a DVD ). I'm not sure A) how to open the specific files B) which files to extract C) Is it as simple as drag and drop...
   Hope you're able to understand my problem and offer some suggestions, in advance thank you for your time and effort...

Hi, Steve -
Yes, the CD-ROM drive must be jumpered as Master in order for it to be bootable.
Your G4 (PCI) should have two built-in IDE buses - one is usually assigned to the CD-ROM and Zip drives, and the other is used for hard drives. If you have the hard drive connected to the same bus as the one the CD-ROM is on, try switching the hard drive to the other bus.
Set the hard drive's jumpers as Master.
Exception - if the hard drive is a Western Digital, it may have a third position, Single, which must be used when the drive is the only device on the bus.
Note - Cable Select jumper settings will not work on a G4 (PCI).
Edit - -
Startup Manager, which is what booting with Option held down invokes, is not available on a G4 (PCI).
Article #106178 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
Firewire Target Disk Mode is limited on a G4 (PCI) - it can be the Host machine, but not the Target machine.
Article #58583 - Firewire Target Disk Mode
Relatedly, a G4 (PCI) can not boot to firewire drives, although it can use them for storage.

Remove the drive and put it in an external case, put a new drive in the nachine and reinstall OSX, connect the old (now external) drive and see if there is any data left for you to recover.
Next time, backup before you start, not after you make the mistake.

Missing songs from playlists after moving to a new mac

Bought a new imac 5k. On my old Mac (Pro) I saved the library.xml file in order to save all my playlists (about 70), rather than save each individual playlist file (which would have taken too long.)
Moved the library.xml file to my imac, "added to playlist", and it brought over all my old playlists. Cool, right?
Nope. Many of them are missing songs now. I wrote down how many songs wee in each playlist on the Mac Pro before cleaning it out, and the same new playlist on my imac has a wrong/smaller song count.
Now, I have to try and figure out which ones I'm missing? Ugh. Why didn't ALL of the the sings on each playlist transfer over? Any idea how to fix this? Running Yosemite 10.10.1.

How can I get bookmarks moved to a new laptop when my old broken laptop can no longer launch Firefox but does still allow access to all of the Profile files such as places.sqlite

My old laptop appears to be a victim of Bit Rot according to an IT person who was here helping me. All of the support material I've seen so far related to moving bookmarks from one computer to another seem to assume that Firefox can be launched on the old computer (which can't be done in my case). I'd like to figure out how to use the files which may hold my extensive bookmark data while the old computer is still allowing me to access those files and save to a removable thumb drive.

Fortunately I seem to have found and still have access to the old Profile files you're mentioning but I don't know how to make use of them such that Firefox on my new computer can incorporate all the data they hold. Again, I'm not able to open Firefox on the old computer. Any ideas how to use these .sqlite files on the new computer to get myself operable how I had been w. Firefox on the old broken one?

Finding and installing cartridges after moving to a new country

HP customizes some products and cartridges to meet specific local customer needs. During your initial printer setup, the printer automatically set itself to accept cartridges specific to a country or region. If you take your product from that country to another country, you might not find cartridges with the same number on the label as your original cartridges. These cartridges will not work in your product even though they appear to be compatible with it. If you purchase cartridges that you believe are compatible with your product, and then try to install them, you might see one of the following error messages:
'Incompatible Cartridges'
'Cartridge Not Intended for this Printer'
'Incorrect Cartridges'
For further details, refer to this link

Resolving a cartridge-related error message after moving to another country
If your printer or your cartridges are within warranty, HP will help you resolve this issue. Before you contact HP, make sure that you have the following items ready:
Your HP product
A full set of HP cartridges for your new country or region
A computer that is connected to your product

Playlists not showing up after moving itunes to new computer

moved itunes to new computer and used an externa;l harddrive to move "iTunes" folder over. the most recent "setup" of itunes on old computer is not showing on new computer. For example "music" file size on external drive is 133GB - on new computer itunes, only 33GB. and, playlists have disapeared. any ideas?

See Make a split library portable for some background on moving the library successfully. You need the main iTunes library.itl file, its supporting files and the Album Artwork folder as well.
If you can find that data it should be possible to put everything together in the right shape and make it work.
Otherwise I have two scripts called ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats which may prove useful.

After moving files to new iMac, an iMovie project won't play audio music tracks

I bought new imac. Transferred files using target disk method and firewire - drag and drop. All files appear to have moved OK to new imac. But when I try to resume working on an imovie project that I had started on the old imac, the itunes music clips I dragged into a series of clips does not play the music, even though the green bar appears under the clips and the audio adjustments appear to be the same as in the old imac, which I still have. The audio that is "built in" to the original clips when the videos were made on the camera are still there and play. Help, please ? Thanks.

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
Yours Bengt W
