How to add a new partition

Hi.

I just bought a new 80 GB hd add it on my comp. 2 partitions.
First is 40G fat32(primary), second is 40G ext3(extended).

My redhat9 can detect the new second HD. But I don't know how to mount that.

I tried add these 2 lines in fstab

/dev/hdb1 /extdos vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /extlinux ext3 defaults 0 0

but fail.Do I do it wrong ? Please let me know how to correct this.

Try /dev/hdb2 /extlinux ext3 defaults 0 0

I'm assuming you've created the extlinux folder, yes?

make sure that the device drives of the partitions are correct.for this try 'fdisk -l' or 'cat /proc/partitions'.then change fstab accordingly.and then do 'mount -a'.
