Very Computer

I installed a second IDE hard drive in my RH6.1 system. I know how to set
up a new one in windows/dos but...How do I get the system to recognize the
drive and mount it on boot up....I know it may be alot to ask, but help!!!

Asuming you mean that when you get to the linux desktop you want to be
able to access the second drive and see and use whats in it heres what you
do.You go to your etc/fstab file and put an entry in for the second
drive.Your second drive would be hdb where the first drive is hda.So
follow your basic file already in there for the first drive but in this
case it will be /dev/hdb along with the rest of the string used by
hda.Make sure when youre finnished to save the file so it will take
effect.You can also put an icon on the desktop for this drive by right
clicking on the desktop and picking new device.Fill in the /dev/hdb for
device and pick your icon.When finnished hit ok.
