RE: [newbie] Hard Drive addition in Linux
Hello there, Are you saying that windoze sees it as 4GB? A 4Kb drive is a very retrograde step! What sort of motherboard do you have, processor etc? Which version of 'doze' do you use? How have you partitioned your drive. Are you using Partition Magic or what? Send some more info please.

RE: [newbie] Hard Drive addition in Linux
Lo Joe, A little more info please. Of the 40Gb you are using 15. What happens to the rest? The point is that if Doze sees it ok then Linux should. Are you using Mandrake 8.0? When you load Md 8.0 you are asked a) which drive and b) how do you want to partition it. If you assume that doze is the C: drive then Linux will see that as /dev/had. What drive letter does Linux assign? Sorry to be so boring but it all helps to crack the prob.

RE: [newbie] Hard Drive addition in Linux
Lo Joe, As is usual, I had an idea just as I was about to go to bed. Am I right in thinking that you can boot into Linux? If so, try the following for me and send me the results. From the command line, or from a terminal, run 'fdisk /dev/hda' (no quotes). Run too 'df' and send the results. Once you've run these two let me have the results please. I suspect that you have, quite simply, finished the 'fdisk' too early. I may be wrong of course but keep your fingers crossed! Mail me directly.

Re: [newbie] Hard Drive addition in Linux
Ok, for _my_ wise a$$ rply; yes.; why?; are you trying to be insulting (?windoze explorer browser?). yes, that's understandable, none of those MP3s are illegally ripped are they? now the real stuff we are always glad to help someone just learning, and we are learning too, (I ain't nothing budda Neeewwwbeee) you are going to need to access the fstab file and edit it as root. or run diskdrake, I believe it will bo it for you in a GUI. will be important to know the type of filesystem installed On Wednesday 22 August 2001 15:18, Joe Brault wrote: Hello, I found this mailing list on the Mandrake site, and thought you all might be able to help me with my problem.
