I HAVE GOT A LINUX 5.2 SERVER WITH 10GB IDE HARD DISK ,NOW I WANTED TO ADD ONE MORE DISK
THOUGH IT IS GETTING DETECTED AS HDC BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO PARTITION IT WITH FDISK
WHAT IS THE COMMAND TO ADD DISK AND HOW THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED

THANKS IN ADVANCE

1. Set the jumper on the new drive as slave.
2. Boot the computer and go into the CMOS setup and do auto detect drive to setup the drives.
3. If the pc can see both of drives, then you be able to fdisk or whatever u want to do. Good luck.

The correct command to fdisk a second (or more) disk is:

fdisk /dev/hdc

set up your partitions as you wish them, then

mkfs /dev/hdc1 (and so on)

hope this helps
