Make sure Kudzu will run when you reboot: chkconfig kudzu on Install the drive and boot the system. Your BIOS should detect the new drive. If not, you will need manually reconfigure your BIOS. During the boot process, Linux should report the existance of the drive. Run "dmesg | less" and look for lines like these: hda: ST34311A, ATA DISK drive hdc: Compaq CRD-8322B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: ST3491A, ATA DISK drive If you do not see the new drive, you have a non-trivial problem. If the new drive is there, it should have been added by Kudzu. You should be able to run fdisk to partition it: fdisk /dev/hdd After running fdisk, put a filesystem on the partition. Assuming you created a single partition: mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdd1 Then add the new drive to /etc/fstab if you want it to be automatically mounted at boot time. Tony - -- Anthony E.
