Problem recognizing hard drive
I am running RH9, with a 2.6.7 kernel. Dual booting Win2K and linux.
Windows is the master on IDE channel 1
Linux is the slave on IDE channel 1
I have a data drive that is NTFS that I wan't both OSes to be able to see. It is the Master on IDE channel 2, and the cdrom is slave on IDE channel 2.
When I boot into windows, I can see it fine (why can't linux be this easy?)
I am pretty familiar with mounting and stuff like that, but I am realizing that linux cannot even see the drive.
I am pretty positive that it is on /dev/hdc, because /dev/hdd is the cdrom.
But I would like to make absolutely sure, because when I do:
# fdisk /dev/hdc
I get:
# Unable to open /dev/hdc
How can I determine what device is mapped to this hard drive, because it seems that there is something wrong if fdisk cannot even see it.
Any advice? Thanks
