what are the errors? unable to mount...?
does the /etc/fstab have the device hardcoded as /dev/hda?
^
if this is what's happenin' then drop into single user mode and edit the
fstab file to match where the HD is:
primary master /dev/hda
primary slave /dev/hdb
secondary master /dev/hdc
secondary slave /dev/hdd
hopefully you are using grub and you can edit the grub.conf (menu.lst) file
(in /boot/grub or wherever) to reflect the changes.
if not (lilo?) then create a grub boot floppy and learn how to boot with
grub
good luck
