    Changing Hard Drives

    I've recently replaced my old hdb with a new drive. Now I'm getting an fsck error on boot requiring the ctrl-d option to boot. I've figured out that there's an error in my fstab because the old drive's uuid is still in there and of course it can't find it. How do I get Kubuntu to redetect the hardware so it will recognize this drive, or is there a way to find the uuid of the new drive so I can edit my fstab?
    I think I could just change it from the uuid to /dev/hdb1 but I'd rather do it by uuid.

    I tried to modify the post above but I couldn't for some reason.

    Update:
    I found a thread on the Ubuntu forum with some helpful tips. I found the uuid of my drive by going to a konsole and entering the command

    sudo vol_id /dev/hdb1

    That gave me the uuid for the new drive and I edited my fstab. Now it seems to be booting error free
