I just purchased a new hard drive for my Linux
machine. How do I format it / get Linux to recognize it?

Actually if you are installing as a new primary master it should come up with the partitioning tool diskdrake early on in the installation. If you are going to use it as a slave or secondary master make sure the jumper is set for which one you want connect it to the ide cable and power and then power up the computer and go into diskdrake it should show up as hdc tab. Click on the tab and partition and format it format is one of the choices. Diskdrake should do a fine job. HTH Dennis M.
