Hi there, i'm exceptionally new to Linux Fedora 9, and it booted up, but i can't access my other Hard drives, one SATA and one IDE.

Furthermore i don't know how to create a broadband connection and i cannot extend my desktop either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Four billion posts but you can't set up your own network? Interesting.

To se what disks you have, post the output of

fdisk -l

Are you sure your network isn't working? Post

ifconfig

That is interesting. He joined in September of '08 and got what, 4 billion posts and a Guru...hmmm!

This is the first time i've ever posted anything, so i don't now how i could possible post 4 billion in one day, i registered when i tried to install Fedora 9 and needed help.

Yesterday by chance i pressed ESC during a boot up and there it was, Fedora booting up.

I'm not even sure how i got the GURU status as i can ensure you i am no GURU when it comes to LINUX, Windows and Leopard maybe in a couple of years but as i said i'm new!

When i opened My Computer i can view all my other drives but can't access them due to Authentication required. Of which only a "Super user" can access?

Furthermore, i'm connected to my network, that wasn't rocket science, but creating another connection (PPPOE) i'm finding difficulty and therefore ask for help.

I'm not trying to prove anything, i just thought that out there someone had experieced the same problem and would be so kind to help?
