Change the root of the system.
chroot /mnt
And then modify grub config files in order to boot from your new hdg drive [
don't
use grub so I can't help you ]. And execute grub? [ ok I would execute
lilo to save the changes in the MBR of your new /dev/hdg drive ]
p.s: Be sure of having a swap partition in your new drive.
