I've got an extra drive that I would like to partition for use with FC3...oddly enough I was not finding the right info on how to do this.
I already have a dual boot setup on another drive with XP and FC3 and I have 80GB of this 160GB hard drive partioned in NTFS and I want to partition the other half for FC3 for use as additional storage. Can anyone provide info on how I can do this? I tried partitioning part of the drive with Partition Magic but I guess you can't create an FC3 partition in that program...either that or I don't know what I'm doing.
I've created ext2/3 partitions with partition magic. It was the only way it would recognise them after, doing it in FC3 gave me errors stopping partiton magic starting up.
I tried both ext2 and ext3 partitions with partition magic but I'm not seeing the drive. When I double click on the Computer icon on the desktop shouldn't I have two items that say filesystem?
I've gotten FC3 to read my NTFS partitions on both drives but when I try something like mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ it screws those up.
And ReefShark, is that going to format the entire drive? If so thats not going to work since I have an NTFS partition on there.

You mean in Windows? No, Windows knows jack about linux filesystems.

The 'man' command generally leaves your partitioning scheme alone
