Fellow Newbie listers, I am running a dual boot (RH7.3 & WinME) box. Due to the purchase of a new Digital Video Camera and the firewire board to transfer videos, I have also had to purchase a new 40Gig 7200RPM HD. For some unknown reason, I can not mount any partition from the new 40Gig drive under linux.
I used fdisk (in dos) to format a 15 gig partition1 as my new WinME disk and successfully transfered over the WinME to it (I know it was successful because I can boot from that partition into WinME). When I boot into linux and attempt to mount either partition1 (as /winME) or the 25gig partition2 (as /website) All I receive is an error that /dev/hdb1 (or /dev/hdb2) is not a valid block device. When I installed the drive, I used a dos based installation program that came with the HD. Boot from a floppy included with the drive. I thought that was the problem so I booted into a dos session and used fdisk to repartition the drive, still to no avail!! Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? -- Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a world without walls and fences there is no need for windows nor gates.
