So i decided to install linux and switch out of windows install went easily enough but it doesn't seem to want to detect my other 300 gig sata seagate drive or my 20 gig drive i have in with windows on it.(i know 20 gig is lame but i keep it in my pc to see how ling tell it will quit)what can i do

you probably have to mount the other drives

sorry i'm new to linux i tried some of the stuff on this page
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=539286



$ su -c'yum install ntsf-3g'
Password:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: ntsf-3g
Nothing to do

they are ntsf and it was detecting them during the install but they aren't listed so how do i mount my drives?

am i doing somthing wrong
$ fdisk-l
bash: fdisk-l: command not found

$ /etc/fstab
bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied

# /sbin/fdisk -l

not sure what to do now

mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/hda1': File exists

still can't figure out how to mount the drive

i want to mount this drive

To mount your 300G drive, just
where <mountpoint> is the directory you are mount the drive to. For example, you might have a directory called /mnt/hd and if you were to mount /dev/sda1 to it, you would be able to access its contents by going into the /mnt/hd directory.

You will need to be root to a drive, and similarly, you might want to create a new directory for this drive's mountpoint, eg, maybe something like /mnt/seagate

how do i creat a mount point i think thats what i'm not getting at this point
what do you need to know to help me walk through this i can't seem to figure out this console

i keep getting this error when i try to mount

# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/300gb
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

To create a new directory, just the mkdir command
where "/abc/def" is the fully qualified path name, which I think is always a good idea.

If your system does not recognize NTFS then you probably need to add the kernel module for it. I don't use Fedora, but from what I can gather the following command will do it. Note: you need to research this yourself. Don't run commands unless you understand what they do.
