internal second harddrive partionioning
 

hi guys,
i have two hardrives built in, where as an ssd and a 750gb hdd,
i did the root, home , tmp, swap in the ssd and i am not sure wat should i do for the second one i have, and its not showinf up in the list as well,
and i want to use that as my /transfer drive .

any suggestions how to do it. thanks.

Check to see if you can find it as a device, /dev/sdn where n is a number.
Cant' say if the ssd is there so if not the n should be 1 and if it is, n should be 2

i managed to see the hardisk mounted and its disk space with fdisk
now i want to know is how to format it and wats the format i should giv it ??

if you see it mounted, what do you see if you do 'df -h'?
If it's mounted you should see it there and used/free space etc

in fdisk you can write a '?' to get help.
write 'n' to create a new partition and follow the questions. if you want more then one partition don't use up all space.
When all is done write 'w' to write the changes to disk.

To create a file system, I'd use ext4, 'mkfsext4 /dev/sdn' this uses the standard options and will probably work

You can use gparted or gparted Live too, that gives a graphical interface.
Be sure to select the right hard drive. Use the default 'align to MiB' option.
