HI SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO!!!!,
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING A GUI THAT HELP ME ADD , CREATE AND OTHER THINGS WITH A HARD DISK
BUT I DON'T
WHERE I CAN DO ALL THAT?

lol, saludos desde virginia amigo, you're looking for gpartd which is included on both the livecd and dvd

[ZAVAYON]

HEY TKS FOR RESPONDE ME, THIS IS WHAT I WANT:

I HAVE A HARD DISK WHIT A MANDRIVA WHIT 2 PARTITIONS ON EXT3 AND A WANT TO MOUNT ON SABAYON I HAVE THE DVD VERSION, AND I TRIED WHIT GPARTED LIKE CVILL64(TKS) SAY, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO DO IT SAY THAT I MUST FORMAT AND I SEE ALL THE HARD DISK WHIT OUT A PARTITION , ITS LIKE ITS VIRGIN MY HARD DISK BUT I HAVE 2 PARTITIONS EXT3.

ITS THERE ANOTHER TOOL TO DO THAT OR I NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE I MOUNT IT A PARTITION FROM A SECOND HARD DISK?

THANK YOU

[cvill64]

ah, you're trying to mount the drive to be able to do stuff to it?

Code: Select all

# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo

Change /dev/sda1 to w/e the partition is located, then its mounted to /mnt/gentoo so you can do stuff with it on the livecd

BTW: Please use lowercaps

[ZAVAYON]

Yes i want to do that but i have a problem l
i can't see my other partitions on the other hard disk and i have 4 partitions!! on hdb

any idea? [/img]

[cvill64]

hmm....are you sure you didn't by chance format your hdb drive? coz that clearly says you have no formated partitions on it and gparted can basically see all partition types no matter the format...

if you honest think its wrong, give me the output of
dmesg
lspci

[ZAVAYON]

YES im sure i do not format my second disk, I have value info there.
OK if i do FDISK this hapen:

fdisk /dev/hdb

Unable to open /dev/hdb

IF I DO dmesg THIS HAPEN:
