Which drive do you think has failed? And how can one confirm that?

hda is an older 8-gig drive, but it is the one that is now booting
and it apparently has the MBR on it.

hdb is a fairly new 80-gig drive, and we can still read all the
data on it by booting with a Knoppix live CD.

Do you think I could install a Linux system on hda and then
restore lilo in the MBR on it and thereby access both drives?
