RH installed on two HD's?

[carljenkins]

Hi,,

I have just removed a dual boot system (XP, RH) and just wanted to install RH on it...

But now that I check the df -h in the term i see something i don't quite understand..

it says the following...

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 56G 4.3G 48G 9% /
/dev/hda1 101M 9.0M 86M 10% /boot
none 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm



Is this ok? Do i need to reinstall or something?

I think that looks fine here is the info I got from dif -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb2 8.9G 1.8G 6.6G 22% /
/dev/hdb1 99M 9.3M 85M 10% /boot
none 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 39G 16G 23G 41% /mnt/windows

How big is /dev/hda ?? Your master HD
How bis is /dev/hdb ?? Your slave HD
I really doubt /dev/hda full size is 100MB.

i think you just need to format and setup a filesystem on the old windows partition. the rest of the hda that ws dedicated to windows is not "visible" because it does not contain a linux filesystem nor is it mounted.

I think both drives should be around 60G.

I had RH perform the automatic format at installation time I guess I must of chosen the drives wrong?


So if i wanted that space back I would have to partition hda1 to retreive the lost space?

Yes, you would have to do what sarah31 wrote.
Format and setup a linux filesystem on the old Windows partition and add it to your /etc/fstab so it gets mounted at boot time.

Now the question is, where to mount it? :) , That's your call
