Yepp - thanks Mike! :)
Indeed I am talking about the Redhat 8.0 distribution.
I am trying to format/mount a newly acquired 6GB drive. That's why I am
asking here. I am not having hardware problems - the hard drive works.
I simply want to know how to set it up in RHL8...
I did this:
#ls /proc/ide
drivers hda hdb hdc hdd ide0 ide1 sis
#
SO... it can see the drive - but when I try to fdisk it I get this:
#./fdisk /dev/hdb
Unable to open /dev/hdb

How did you connect the new drive? For it to be hdb, it should be the
slave drive on the primary ide interface. You did set the master/slave
jumpers on both drives? Have you tried an fdisk -l ? This will list the
partition tables, and hopefully it will recognize the MAC format.
