Hi

When I login as root, then type fdisk /dev/hdd I get the following message
# fdsik: command cannot be found --- Am I meant to be in a specific folder
to run fdisk?

thank you
Michelle

The first command won't work if the drive is not hdc
So you may have to use hdd or strap the drive as master... and reboot
"fdisk /dev/hdc"
"mke2fs -cv /dev/hdc1"
"cd /"
"mkdir driveC"
"chmod 777 driveC"
"mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /driveC"
"cd /driveC"
Now write a file
"touch test"   then run  "ls"  (you should see test)
"vi [or pico -w] /etc/fstab"
Add this line
/dev/hdc1  /driveC  3 3
Reboot and see it it mounts....

"ls /driveC"
you should see the test file
"rm /driveC/test"
"ls /driveC"
The test file should be gone

You can also put the file someplace else,
it does not have to be /driveC
just change the directions referencing /driveC
