Mount a second hdd
 

Hi, i'm new to linux

i just got mandrake 9.2 with KDE, i have two hard drives, 40G and 80G, i have mandrake installed on the 40G, but i couldn't find the 80G (which i got a lot of music and movies and data files stored). i figured i have to mount it, so in the console, i typed
(i already created a folder "data" in mnt folder)

mount -t vfat /dev/hdb /mnt/data

but then it said only root can do this, anyone help?

ps. i also checked in the configuration (hardrake), it says the status of the 80G is already mounted, with files stored in /mnt/win_c2, but that folder does not exist?

type

su

then enter the root password which you assigned when you installed the system

the command su (switch user) switches from your current account to the root account (administrators account) by the was

-JAX

thanks a lot guys, hehee i'm such a noob
the command that worked was
mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 "destination directory"

is there a way to auto mount the hdd every time i start? because i have to remount every time i restart the pc.
