Hi list; I have a bay in my laptop for a 2nd hard drive. If I place a hard drive there, how can I access / use it. (I assume I'll have to create a new filesystem? ) Any guidance would be appreciated... Thanks in advance

Hi list;

The easiest way is to use Yast to partition the drive and create a a filesystem and mount point. Or, you can use (in this order): fdisk - to create partion(s) on that drive mkfs.xxxx - to create a filesystem on that partition(s) edit the fstab, to add mount points for the newly created partition(s) Cheers Sunny -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
