Hmm, you made a linux partition ? you used fdisk to format your harddrives?, your disks are formated on linux or windows ? i ask you this, because you must format the partition where you want to install your linux, in this case, slackware, once you formatted with fdisk, then you install slackware, it always asks where do you want your "/" (root), "/home", etc. If you have windows on one disk (making a dual boot), generally (at least for me, it always work) the installer found the windows partition and asks if you want to mount in some place (ex: "/win"), etc. Then asks for permissions to acces the windows partition, etc.
If you made that, then you must look your fstab "vi /etc/fstab" to see if your disks appear in there. If they appear then your system is ok. If no (it would be ver strange that they don't appear), then access as root to your system and create a directory (carpet, etc.) to access your disk in the "/mnt" directory, second, modify the fstab file with the editor of your choice, example "vi /etc/fstab" and add your disk or disk (you can use vi editor in the command line, or you can access graphically and modify the fstab file with the mousepad, etc. Just be careful, because you accessed like root).
I have 3 disks on my computer. Here is my /etc/fstab
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdf1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hde1 /cosas ext3 defaults 1 2
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first four lines are my disks, as you can see, my disks are hda, hdf and hde. Each disk has its partitions (hda has hda1 (swap) and hda2 (root)), hdf has hdf1, hde has hde1.
Actually, that's the clue: the system takes special revenge against people who inflict this kind of formatting on others. And not using normal sentences is a crime, too.
