Before I set out posting my first help in PLUG, I would just like to clear up one thing not immediately obvious to me: - does "a usbdisk attach to my linux box" mean you booted your pc using that usb drive (containing linux)? Setting that issue aside, here's my suggestion: Find out the device name of that 80G HD (like "/dev/hda" or something), and as root do a: ~# fdisk /dev/hda Now, you'll be faced with a menu system and it's up to you to choose things like: - partition sizes - filesystems > > Thanks for helping. Hope I did. I think 'man fdisk' is a better guide. Goodluck! ---------- Jed R.
