You have to use fdisk to remove the NTFS partition and repartition to
Linux Native. Then write the partition table and do a mkfs.ext2 on each
partition created. Then edit your /etc/fstab and add the device entries
for the partitions. Make sure the mount point directories exist before
mounting
I have a second drive in a new install of RH7.2. Now that I already have
linux installed how to I format the drive and add a mount point? It
currently has NTFS on it.
I don't see how to do it with fdisk.
Can disk druid be run after Redhat is installed?
Is the a GUI in KDE for doing this?

Why not just delete the partition using linux fdisk, install the drive in
the DOS machine, fdisk it in DOS, and then format it?

Maybe this will help. I've done this with floppies. Should work with
hard drives also.

You should already have msdos filesystem compiled into your kernel and I
believe mkfs is in the /sbin directory.
