I was wondering if there is a program out there in Linux that I can see my hardrives like partition magic does. I have two harddrives and one is not formated and when I type cfdisk at the command prompt it only display my main harddrive. I would prefer a GUI program if you know of one but any would work.
Yeah, sure there is! If you're using Mandrake then run 'DiskDrake'. Nice little GUI jobby for playing about with your partitions.
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA
since if you're not entirely happy with tweaking partiton stuff, you can quite easily cock things up big time (especially if you're using DiskDrake to resize a fragmented windows 'drive').
If it's not entirely obvious (as it wasn't for me when I breifly had 2+ harddrives in my box) the first HDD is displayed when the program starts, and any other HDDs are shown as 'tabs' in the top-left.
Not sure what the programs are called for the other distros (I think it's something like 'DiskDruid' for RH).
you are correct sir I have Red Hat 7.1. When I get home I will try disk druid but I think I found a good program with a GUI on KDE's website. If you guys have any that you like please post them here. Thanks.
Thanks, that is exactly what I needed. I did find a nice little program called KPartition which has a nice GUI. but use at your own risk it's still in Alpha.
