Howdy folks,

  Some of you might remember my wonderful hard disk crash about a
  month ago. Well, I've finally heard back from Software Warehouse
  (where the drive was purchased from) that there is nothing wrong
  with the drive at all. (even though it crashed twice here and made
  funny noises constantly.)

  So, even after a half-hour heated discussion over the phone (don't
  ya just love customers like me.) ;) the damn thing is coming back.

  So rather that let it gather dust, I might as well put it to use
  (for the length of time it will allow). What I don't know is how to
  add a second drive to a linux system. set it to slave, add it behind
  the current HD I can manage, but how do you format and partition a
  second drive?

  I assume that it would be /dev/hdb (as the primary is /dev/hda and
  the cdrom is /dev/hdc on the second primary).

  Any pointers you could give I would appreciate. Many thanks.

 Best Wishes,

Lee Smallbone
