accessing 2nd har d drive
 
hey i just installed mandrake 10 (windows 2000 and linux on same hard drive) i can access my windows partition but i cant figure out how to access my 2nd harddrive (music hard drive) from mandrake so i can listen to my music in XMMS. the 2nd hard drive is NTFS if that matters. any ideas?
thanks!

Enable the NTFS module by adding
/sbin/modprobe ntfs
to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

If mandrake does not recognize the new HD on boot time, you'll need to put it manually in fstab.
First of all, make an entry where you want the HD to be mounted (/mnt/whatever for example).
Edit /etc/fstab and add the entry there. You can copy all the options from the "old" HD and just change device name and mount point.
As root mount the HD and enjoy

Hope it helps

dopefish where do i add that line in the file?

in harddrake it recognizes the hard drive..

channel: secondary
new devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc
old device file: /dev/hdd
media class: hd

There is a section in the file on filesystem modules you can just uncomment it there or put it anywhere you like.
