THOUGH IT IS GETTING DETECTED AS HDC BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO PARTITION IT WITH FDISK

Hi,
if kernel detects your new disk as hdc, then user root shoud run:

/sbin/fdisk /dev/hdc

by brianbarber

Log in as root.

Run fdisk with 'fdisk /dev/hdc'

At the Command: prompt, type 'n' for a new partition and follow the prompts. It should walk you through it.
