One last question:
As I posted above, the output of "fdisk -l" shows
/dev/hda and /dev/hdb.
What is the diffrence hda and hdb?I didnt create hdb.
Can I remove hdb?
Sorry for any inconvinience
Hi, no inconvenience,
It looks as if You have secondary hard disk, a "slave" on Your primary IDE-interface. And it appears to have Windows partitions on it. If You don't want it You can of course delete them and make Linux partitions on them with fdisk. Or You can mount them as they are, just to see what's there.
try
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb5 /mnt/tmp
and so on...
/L

partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.
SYNOPSIS
partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk
DESCRIPTION
Given a block device ( disk ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or
remove partitions.
This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not a change of the disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering
of on-disk partitions.

-a add specified partitions or read disk and add all partitions
-d delete specified or all partitions
-l list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.
--type TYPE
Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.
--nr M-N
Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).
SEE ALSO
addpart(8), delpart(8), fdisk(8), parted(8), partprobe(8)
AVAILABILITY
The partx command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
