[kwlug disc.] SATA setup problem

I've got a sata drive that I just moved from one computer to another.  
The drive has a dual boot mandriva and windows XP.  When I drop the 
drive into the new computer, the lilo (grub?) loader comes up and I get 
to select my OS to boot from.  Unfortunately, both boots fail.  Windows 
just kinda barfs and reboots (more specifically I get the 'load windows 
in safe mode?' screen and no matter what I select it freezes.  When I 
boot into linux I get a "mount: error 6 mounting ext3" error, followed 
shortly thereafter by a kernal panic. 

I'm honestly baffled as to where to even start on this one :).  I've 
tinkered with the bios on the new machine but don't see anything that 
would lead me to believe I should be tinkering in there.  I'd hoped it'd 
be as easy as move the drive to the new computer and voila.

Thoughts?
