Is there a list like this for Win XP? Google was not helpful. (I'm having trouble recognizing hard drives. Without fdisk, I don't know how to find hard drives. BIOS knows they're there.) Suse is on the "C" drive in a separate partition, HDA something, I guess, but I don't know if that helps. I can't use it to access the 'net, since the Broadcom ethernet adapter on the MOBO is not recognized in Suse 10.0. (I think it worked in earlier versions. Boo hoo.) I have 9.3 on another machine, which works well, except I haven't been able to get my Brother HL-2040 to work. Anyone who has done so, please write. --doug

You mean to say a Mailing List like this one for Windows XP? Well...there might be a lotta mailing list about Windows XP on the Internet, but I am doubtful Microsoft by itself supports such mailing lists. They have good documentation though. If you can't find something, its always good to search in he Microsoft Knowledge Base. Do you mean to say that your Windows XP is not recognizing your hard drives at all? If not, then how is it being able to boot..lol? And if you mean to say that you cannot boot, then how can you draw the conclusion that Windows ain't recognizing your Hard Drives? Quite confusing lol.. Any error message you are getting would be quite helpful to sort out the problem..i guess. Suse is on the "C" drive in a separate partition,
HDA something, I guess, but I don't know if that helps. I can't use it to access the 'net, since the Broadcom ethernet adapter on the MOBO is not recognized in Suse 10.0. (I think it worked in earlier versions. Boo hoo.)
The concept of drives doesn't exist in Linux. Yes. hda is the first hard drive. hdb is the second and so on. Similarly, hda1 is the first partition on hda. hdb3 is the third partition on hdb. <trimmed> Regards, Amit. --

Do you mean that you want to see, in XP, what HDs you have and how they are partitioned? Start/My Computer or Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Disk Mangement Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.
Are you looking for this: as linux root, do "fdisk -l" (lowercase L without quotes). That will list all the partitions and drives. Tom On Sun, 2006-10-29 at 01:55 -0400, Doug McGarrett wrote:
