===== Hi, I have a removable hdd it is seen by boot but I am unable to mount it.
mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /hdd2 wrong or bad block device I think was the returning error
Question
How do I mount it and always mount it when I boot up I think I have to alter the /etc/fstab file.
Also I would like to reformat one partition on the drive as linux (it has 3 partitions all vfat at present).
Also is there a control center command or tool for this ?
Step by step instructions please.
Regards
Matt
