Default PC BSD works but how do I add another hard drive
HI,
I put a new 160 seagate sata on my amd 64 and that pc bsd loaded first try no problems, everything seem to work well,My xp disk is unusable and will not load.. Blessing in desguise to force me to bsd. hehe . the downloader installer is the best I ve seen it dosen't break things the way some of the linux installer will load anything ..
here's my problem I have asecond hard drive that is formated nfts from my previous XP winwoes OS and PCBSD can't see it my guess the propeties arenot readable.
is there any way to mount that second hard drive and wipe it with BSD for backups and such its around 80G and isn't on the Primary menu when examining your hardware when running bsd. I ve only been running bsd for about 24 hours so this question may be lame. But I have been using winows since dos5 Yikes .. hehe I miss dos :arrow: sick sick sick

psps what does BSD use for a partition manager , I haven't seen how my instal confiured that 160G I may want to tweak it alittle..

Doug

KDE's Control Center -> Peripherals -> Partition

as long as the drive is installed correctly, you'll be able to do what you want from there

you can try "fdisk" (man fdisk for detailed explanations)
it's not that hard; you'll just have to type-a-lot
