Hi... I have recently physically installed a new 850 MB hard disk on my computer, but I am unable to format the disk, label it using disklabel, or write a new file system onto the disk. I need to get the disk going asap as my other disk has VERY limited space left on it. How should I - format the disk - what utility partition the disk (I only want 1 partition if possible) mount the disk on the correct file system ( I want to use /opt) I have posted to the news group, I have looked through all the FAQ files, and I am still unsure as to how to precisely go about this task. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Drew ---- Andrew Heath Internet Directory Australia drew@ida.com.au http://www.ida.com.au/ Phone 0419335398 Fax 0394893346 PO Box 1003 Fitzroy North Vic Aust 3068 Offering Australia the World
