add a new harddis
 

i'm sure this is aked before but i can't find any post about it throught the search so here i go

I just installed linux a few days ago, and now i want to add new harddisk to my system, the only this is how do i do that, what steps doe i have to take to install a new harddisk

i read somethin about fdisk it first but after that what i do

thnx in advance

What distribution do you use? Chances are that there is some tool which will guide you through the installation process.

gave it a shot
 

i'm using debin 3.0

so far i 've done this

i used fdisk /hdc
got a menu and told the menu to make a new partition from sector 1 to 39702

after that i used the commando

mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdc

and it all worked fine BUT when i type fdik -l
i'll get this output

Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 39703 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

Disk /dev/hdc doesn't contain a valid partition table

so i quess did something wrong right

owh when i type

df -m

it tells me:

/dev/hdc 19235 1 18257 1% /mnt/hd1

so i guess i've done it right....right

the only thing that concerns me is the output error from fdisk -l ( see previous post )
