Laptop Hard drive modules
Hello,
Configuring Redhat9 on a Dell Inspiron XPS laptop. How do I mount the Secondary Hard Drive Module that I purchased with it, that plugs into the CDRom Bay? I cannot seem to get Linux to recognize it. Thanks! John |
Plug in the extra Hdd then pase us a copy of
#dmesg. Cheers |
1. Plugged in the HD
2. Booted the machine 3.

Any thoughts on this, guys?

I found the solution for this, and I thought I would share for others out there.
edit /boot/grub/grub.conf, to remove "hdc=ide-scsi". Reboot the machine with the hard disk plugged in, and it is recognized now. run fdisk to create partition, mkfs, and off you go. It still recognizes the CD-ROM/DVD Drive after this change. |
:o) of course, that would make a lot of sense, the cd/hdd bay on your laptop must be a seperate ide channel. well done on getting it working
