I installed DSL on my computer and got it all setup, got everything working. But I was wondering if there was a way to get mys econd hard drive to work with it. I use my main for my OS and my second for all of my documents, music, and so on. Is there a way to set it up so I can atleast read the HD to listen to my music?

Normally a second hard drive is not a problem.
I have a frugal running on a second IDE hard drive.

What are your specifics? Perhaps SATA, or SCSI?
What type of install?

What does /etc/fstab display?

I am not sure. I am pretty new with DSL, so things wil take some time to get used to to understand what you mean or how to do it. My hardrive if I remember right is SATA, not sure. Like, my two hard drives arn't linked, they are separate.

That would explain it. We currently don't support SATA.
