| 185380 | 2003-10-21 05:32:00 | Hi, Just a quick question, whats the equivalent of windows NT's "Logical Disk Manager", Have just added a 160GB drive to my linux box and need to partition/format it. Cheers Liam |

| 185384 | 2003-10-21 07:39:00 | YOu don't have to be in any directory. But you do need to know the device number: Master on channel 1 = hda Slave on channel 1 = hdb Master on channel 2 = hdc Slave on channel 2 = hdd. So your command would be (for example) fdisk /dev/hdb. |

Hi, well I've finished the Lab, so time for another attempt, however I still think I need to be in the directory that fdisk is located in (which ever that is); anyway her's the error I get. [root@localhost /]# fdisk /dev/hdc bash: fdisk: command not found What do you suggest? Cheers Liam |

| 185387 | 2003-10-21 10:17:00 | I would recommend installing fdisk :) | segfault (655) | ||

| 185389 | 2003-10-21 10:29:00 | > I would recommend installing fdisk :) :8} I see, (head makes contact with brick wall :p), though it 'should' be installed as I did tell the installer to install "everything", unless of course fdisk dosent ship as standard anymore, also is there any way to get access to the disk druid software that you use during setup, as that was easy enough to use? Cheers Liam |
