second HDD for media only
Hi folks, I have now upgraded my PC I ma running Ubuntu 7.10 GG, I have installed Ubuntu on a 80Gig HDD all has gone well after doing my homework. I have also fitted a 320Gig HDD that I want to use for media storage, I have spent hours going through existing threads on this issue, with no avail. The HDD's are both new, I don't want to install Windows at all!!! I have used the entire disk (80Gig) for the install of Ubuntu, as I said everything is spot on!! I even got my graphics card to work XfX Nvidia 8600GT XXX, but I don't know how to partition the second HDD or what format to use, I have read the Ubuntu book by Kier Thomas from front to back but it keeps referring to Windows . And is not specific enough on just using another HDD for media storage. Can anyone tell me how to do this? PLEASE!! I have had a look at Gparted before and know roughly how to use it, but I am not sure how to use this to install a second HDD. I want my second HDD to have a little icon on my desktop if possible so I can have easy access to it and just drag and drop images etc, from my removable media, digital camera usb stick for example.I have been trying to find the info out for 3 day's solid now and I am at a dead end and don't want to mess it up!! Please put me out of my misery guy's.
