Hi Group,

I installed FC3 on a 200GB drive but at first the system only recognized the
first 32GB.

System looks like this:

hda = Windows XP 20GB NTFS - I can see this and work with it fine. I put
Icon on the desktop to access it

hdb1 = Linux boot partition
hdb2 = Linux /home and other usual folders
hdb3 = Linux ext3 partition created and formatted with qtparted

The problem is that I cannot see the hdb3 partition and my plan is to use
that for storage (150GB) of mp3's.

Request assistance in understanding how set up hdb3 to be accessible and
visible.

Many thanks in advance,

Dave
