I've been tweaking with it. I want to reinstall linux on my PC, considering I just said f**k it to the wireless nic, and purchased a nice 50 foot cat5 cable. lol. I Poped in the CD, and walahhh, im half way there, im run up Fdisk and/or cfdisk, neither will find my hdb, or my second harddrive, I can't put it on the HDA thats were windows is. Does any one know what i can do about this, or the command to lead install to my hdb, or second hd? thank you in advance! (=
