    LVM Setup on an already installed Ubuntu gnome server

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up an LVM on my File sharing server. The server has ubuntu 14.04 lts 64 bit running on a pentium dual core E2140 @ 1.60Z GHz with 1gb of memory (will be getting upgraded to 2 gb). The server is also running the latest version of Gnome. For drives right now I have 7 drives in the server:

    Model: ATA IC35L04AVVA07-0
    Size: 31.50 GB
    Path: /dev/sda
    File System: NTFS

    Model: ATA IC35L04AVVA07-0
    Size: 31.50 GB
    Path: /dev/sdb
    File System: NTFS

    Model: ATA WDC WD400BB-60DG
    Size: 37.27 GB
    Path: /dev/sdc (this is the OS hard drive)
    File Systems: sdc1 - ext4 sdc2 - extended sdc5 - linux-swap

    Model: ATA Quantum Fireball
    Size: 19.01 GB
    Path: /dev/sdd
    File Systems: sdd1 - extended (unallocated)

    Model: ATA ST3250310AS
    Size: 232.83 GB
    Path: /dev/sde
    File System: NTFS

    Model: ATA WDC WD3200AAJS-6
    Size: 298.09 GB
    Path: /dev/sdf
    File System: NTFS

    Model: WD I HDS72 External
    Size: 465.76 GB
    Path: /dev/sdg
    File Systems: sdg1 - extended New Partition #1 - lvm2 pv

    I have no cd roms in the tower and no usb flash drives to do a live cd boot. what I want to do is first setup the group with sdd and sdg and move the files from the other drives to it (except the os drive) then I want to add the other drives to the group making it act as a drive with a little over a TB is there any way to do this without having to do a clean install or boot from a live cd? (I really don't want to do a clean install it takes a long time to get everything running correctly) if any other info is needed please let me know and I will get it for you. Thank you for your time and help Christopher J. Crandall

    I keep getting the error: /dev/sdg not found (or ignored by filtering) when I use the command sudo vgcreate KC-Computers /dev/sdg1 .the same is for sdg1 and sdd
