New question #77586 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77586
I've added a second drive (using a removable drawer for the second hard drive). This is a drive that has an earlier version of Mandrake Linux on it but I want to reformat the drive to use as a removable storage for confidential data. I do not know how to do that as I am a new comer when it comes to Ubuntu. Here is a copy of the stab file and of fdisk -l. It appears that the disk is being seen by fdisk but it does not show up when I use GUI and Computer. geo...@george-desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda5 UUID=4cf16bf4-944e-4646-aed2-ee1870bdeea4 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda6 UUID=31a4ce2b-3a96-4ffe-bd63-3180b9a072e7 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 geo...@george-desktop:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 34.2 GB, 34219745280 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4160 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x38ee38ee Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2081 16715601 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 2082 4160 16699567+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2082 4067 15952513+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 4068 4160 746991 82 Linux swap / Solaris Disk /dev/sdb: 8455 MB, 8455200768 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1027 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 1026 8241340+ 54 OnTrackDM6 geo...@george-desktop:~$ Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
