Do you have a SATA hard drive?

If so, you will need to either use DSL version 2.1b or the DSL-N livecd.

If you use DSL version 2.1b you boot with the:

dsl sata

command and then access your drive with:

sudo su
cfdisk /dev/sda

for example

Forgot to update.  I used fdisk and was able to set things up the way I want.  Not sure what the difference is with the two.

Did you mean /dev/hda2?
that 2 means it's the second partition of your first hard disk.


/dev/hdb3 would be third partition of your second hard disk.

Actually I was referring to fdisk and cfdisk.  Fdisk worked but cfdisk failed.
