A second hard disk?

If you already have a disk and you're adding a second one then it can
be accessed from Ubuntu. If it's already formatted then you can mount
it, if it's not formatted, or you want to wipe/format it, then you can
do that too. See these links:-

Yes, though you may want to format/partition to suit. By default it
should be mounted under /media and show up automatically on the
desktop.

or will i need to reinstall Ubuntu?

Not unless you want to run Ubuntu from that HDD.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Add a hard drive

2010-01-07 Thread Kenny Coyle 
It will be detected, you will simply need to map it to a location using
fstab (or mount it to a location manually using mount).

You will likely also have to partition the drive, you can use a command line
tool like cfdisk or a gui based tool like gparted to do this for you...
