HD Install :: trouble with HD
i just got somone's junk tower, and found an HD that wasnt being used. the hd has 2 gb and the tower has a P1. i can get DSL running on the tower, but i cant seem to access the HD and cant get it to install dsl on the hd. i cant get it to format or partition the hd. the hd used to have windows on it (i think it was 95) but that was erased from it. i think DSL recognises the hd. im not sure how the jumper is set up or how it's supposed to be set up
i tried running cfdisk, but it wouldn't/couldn't access the hd
did you try as root! sudo cfdisk 
thanks, that worked perfectly. im new to linux, so i wasnt sure what to do
dim problems................I'm only 2 months in but the support here is fantastic
