Mounting my second harddisk?
 

what is the command that will list all harddisks that are connected to my pc, I need to know bc i want to mount my second hd.

Thanks.

use "fdisk /dev/hdx"
replace x with a/b/c/d one by one
where ever u find some details press "p" there

regards

Will show a list of all partitions/hard-drives.

sorry but do u mean use fdisk before system startsup or on my terminal?

on your terminal dear

ok i found my hd,
Disk /dev/hdb: 8447 MB, 8447459328 bytes

so is this right to add in my fstab file:

/dev/hdb /myfiles ntfs defaults,users,umask=0002 0 0

if you would like to give permission to users other than root then its required to add "owner/users" there othewise
/dev/hdb /myfiles ntfs defaults 0 0
this much is enough..

NO. You are trying to mount a hard-disk, and not a partitions - you can only mount partitions.

If the disk is new and blank, you have to create some partitions before you can use it. To do that:

the harddisk is already partitioned and contains windows files.

thanks ruudra i got it mounted...
