I purchased a new IBEXPC computer so I could learn all about Linux. The computer came with the Fedora software installed. What I am trying to do with no success is to install a Western Digital USB hard drive so I can make my mistakes on a separate program installed there,rather than wreaking havoc on my main program.
Is there a secret to doing this? I have purchased several books with CD's included which go into great detail regarding Dual booting a Windows PC. They avoid any reference to just adding and installing a 2nd hard drive to an existing Linux system.

The unit is a 250 GB WD Hard drive Model WD2500c032.

Hope some one can walk me through this as I have been trying for two months with no success. Is this do-able?

Thank you for your assistance, j.

Assuming you have it formatted as NTFS, you need to make sure the NTFS module is available.

Take a look here, see if there is anything that might help:

Well, I had a long thing typed out here to explain how to do this. But it seems that someone has beaten me to the punch. Check this out: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~hnara...ive-linux.html

Thanks for the quick responses. I will give them a go. Hope The first one works.

Thanks, gpjack.
