Second Hardrive access issues...

[swirlz]

Hi all...

I just installed a second hardrive for extra storage and am having issues accessing it.

it installed properly and I used gparted to partion it but I can't find it.

Here some output that might help??

j@j-desktop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for j:

Create a mountpoint by doing


sudo mkdir /media/data

Then mount the drive


sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/data

To automount on boot, you should add an entry for your drive in /etc/fstab, e.g.


/dev/sdb1 /media/data ext3 defaults 0 0

(I'm assuming it's an ext3 formatted drive, if not replace 'ext3' accordingly)
