Installing an IDE disk
Hi,
I'm trying to install an extra harddisk into my linux system. I plugged it into the system on the secondary IDE controller as master. Dmesg shows the disk:
hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, ATA DISK drive
But when I try to partition it (fdisk /dev/hdc) I get the following message: Unable to open /dev/hdc. There currently is a windows system on the disk (which can be deleted), but I don't think this has anything to do with it.
Your help is much appriciated!
