Re: How do you add another hard drive?



Paul Shayler staggered into the Black Sun and said:
I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.04. I have a hard drive that is
4.5 G. I want to add a second [disk]. [How do I do that?]

4.5G? 1999 called, they want their disk back. Shut down the computer.
Open computer case. Plug new disk in to power and data cables, then
attach it to the drive rails using screws, making sure it's jumpered
properly if it's IDE. Close computer case. Turn computer on.

IDE disks: Channel 0 master = /dev/hda , channel 0 slave = /dev/hdb ,
channel 1 master = /dev/hdc , channel 1 slave = /dev/hdd . The pattern
continues. SCSI and SCSI-like disks: First disk = /dev/sda , second
disk = /dev/sdb , pattern continues. fdisk the new disk and create
partitions on it. mke2fs (or mkreiserfs, or whatever) the partitions
you created. mount the partitions on appropriate mountpoints, and add
lines in /etc/fstab so that those partitions will be automatically
mounted on boot. Profit! HTH,

a colloquial translation of 'pineapple'... --Chris Croughton
