Kindly give soluation
Dear All,
i have purchased new sata 250 hdd to replace my old sata hdd.when i attached my new hdd then it was not detecting in my system..i am using redhat O.S...kindly tell me what,s happening in system and what should i do for it.. |
Please use useful thread titles. Something informative to others.
what version of redhat is this? Nothing will ever happen to a new disk just by physically connecting it. It almost certainly IS detected, but you need to put filesystems on it etc. So what do you want to do with it? and what is your current partition layout? |

Otherwise, what did you think would happen? What happens in Windows when you plug in a disk? It just sits there...until you format it, and make it available. Linux is no different. Chances are, the system saw the new drive, and presented the new device. The first disk will be /dev/sda, second /dev/sdb, etc. The partitions are /dev/sda1, etc. |

It will be normal behavior if you are taking out the Hard Drive with the OS and plugin a blank one. Install an Operating system on it for it to become functional. Good luck to you |
If you can get into a cmd line terminal, try (as root)
Code:
fdisk -l |
Code:
sudo fdisk -l Likely your primary SATA will show up as /dev/sda and this drive will show up as a different letter; however it is best to check what your existing drive shows up as, install this new drive and then see the letter it gets mapped too. From there you can use fdisk to partition the drive and then use mkfs.<file-system-type> to create a file system. Next, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to fully replace your old SATA drive with this new one? If that's the case, then maybe take the old one out, install Linux fully, add the old one back in and copy over files you wish to retain. Otherwise you'll still be running off that old SATA drive which you wished to replace. |
