Installed new hard drive;

[Jrhw]

I've just finished installing a new hard drive, copied all the files over, and rebooted into both windows, and ubuntu with not problem. There is one annoying error message that appears right after the grub menu.about a unknown device which has me perplexed. I assume that error is in regard ot my old hard drive id. Is there a easy way to find my new hard drive id, and change the grub menu to reflect that id to make that error message go away? My info script follows:
