Mike,
Sorry, should have put that info in before :) I think I did a typo...
the drive is a 40GB drive, 5400rpm. here's the rest of my specs:
Motherboard: Tyan 1854s
CPU: Genuine Intel P3 666Mhz
Pri HD: Maxtor 15GB 7200rpm
RAM: 256mb
Video Card: Vodoo 3 3500TV AGP
CD Drive: Creative 52x
CDRW Drive: Creative CDRW 8*4*32x
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Live Platinum!
Network card: Generic Ne2k card
Modem: Actiontec 56k internal PCI call waiting modem (works with Linux :)
I think that's all the pertinent info... my system is a dual boot, 7gig
partition is win98. 8gig for Linux Mandrake 8.0. I use grub to boot my
system.
I'm not sure if I need to 'install' the hard drive in Linux or not.. please
see my previous post below for the specifics... But I can read/write to the
drive in Win98 (and it sees it as a 40gb drive) but in linux it sees the
drive however it shows it to have a size of 4kb... and I see no files on the
drive even though over 9gigs are full already. Thanks for any help :) you
can email me directly if you have more specific q's about my system, or with
an answer to my problem :) Thanks!
- Joe :)
