hi, i have a WD 200gb on a 3ware raid card that im trying to use as a secondary drive. is this just an issue of mounting the drive? im running ubuntu 5.04. the drive is being detected b/c i can see it in the raid bios program.

thanks,

sure...guess i should've posted this before cuz i sure would be happy if i would've found the solution quick. all i did was mount the drive. at first i thought linux wasn't detecting it but i ran
"root@ubuntu:/home/ismael # fdisk -l" and saw that the sata was listed as sda1.
i then ran
"root@ubuntu:/home/ismael # mount -t ntfs -o umask=0222 /dev/sda1 /mnt/Media"
where /mnt/Media is the directory that i can view the drive under. I had to make that directory before i could mount it there.
