I'm at the beginning of my linux installation.  I have 2 hard drives, c: and
d: .  I'm using fdisk to delete and recreate partitions.  What is confusing
to me is this.  I've deleted both c and d and at the moment c is my primary
fixed disk drive.  When I'm working with c, it acts as if d doesn't even
exist, and I've noticed that if I try it the other way around and make d the
primary fixed disk, it acts as if c doen't exist.  I have a couple books
that I'm using as a guide, and the one book shows exactly what I'm doing,
with both a c and d drive but it shows them both on one screen.  It's not
showing me both on my screen.  Can anyone tell me what may be happening.  I
want to be able to use both hard drives so that I can have more space.

Type under linux:
fdisk /dev/hda for c: if theris the name of your c drive
and
fdisk /dev/hdb for d: disk
if it is the name U have gave to your drives.
