15.12 Add a new harddisk

NOTE: Using the command fdisk is recommended only for seasoned persons,

because formatting the old harddisk will destroy all data on this disk!

To buy a new harddisk on the Linux PC is quite easy because you can buy a usual

harddisk in a PC store. After installing the new disk you have to do the following:

1. Start the PC

2. Open a shell and become root

3. If the new harddisk is a scsi-disk, type in the command

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

If it is a ide-disk use the command

cat /proc/ide/hdX/model (the X in hdX have to be replaced with the

correct number of the disk, which is a, b, c or d)

4. Does the command show the harddisk which was built in?

• Yes? Go to step 5

• No? There was something wrong during build in, or the harddisk is dam-

aged.

5. Type in the command fdisk -l

the output looks like this :

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sda1*13240664FAT16 <32M

...

A second harddisk would show upas device ’sdbx’, where x is a number. All De-

vices sdax are part of harddisk number 1, sdbx of number two and so on.

6. Does the output show the new disk?

• Yes and the partitioning is OK? Go to step 9

• Yes but the partitioning was not done so far? Go to step 7

• No? Go to step 7

7. To partition the new disk, type in the command fdisk /dev/sdb
