can't mount harddisks in separated IDE cable
Dear all,
In my home computer, I connected two harddisks in two separated IDE channels (i.e. the first HD in primary IDE, the second HD in secondary IDE).
But I found that I can't mount the secondary HD.
When I changed to plug the second HD to be a slave HD in the primary IDE, then I can successfully mount it.
Why I can mount the separated IDE HD??? or I have any mistake?

How are you trying to mount it? It's probably going to be hdc now, whereas it was hdb before.
Cool

Jumper misconfiguration? - Check the jumpers.
Wrong mount device. - How are you mounting the drive?
Bad cable - Switch cables.
Bad secondary controller. - Check BIOS setup, boot log.
That's about all I can offer until you -provide some more information.

Oh, I don't know why.
This time the problem gets disappeared. But the setting is the same.
Anyway, thanks for all very much.

Ohhhhh, is it the problem....
If I go to mount a harddisk that didn't format before (e.g. a totally new HD), could I mount it??

Not easily. You will usually need to partition and format the drive first. To see if there are already partitions use 'fdisk -l' Then you may be able to simply create a filesystem on the premade partitions.
