Description of problem: the RH 9 cannot figure out the second hard drive which has been formatted under Windows 2000. RH9 only assigned it as hdc but /dev/hdc is not present for fdisk Please reply also to sunyf.edu Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: #fdisk /dev/hdc hdc: driver not present unable to open /dev/hdc Expected results: able to use fdisk on the hard drive #fdisk /dev/hdc to perform fdisk functions Additional info: The second hard drive in the modular bay of my DELL Precision Mobil workstation M60 is not usable.
