shucks haha just as i though, i set the wrong HD ... is there any way to write to my second hard drive...like in windows you have c: d: e: etc... can i do that here? I've only got about 2 gigs left free and i've got another 20 gig sitting doing nothing haha.

When i run the dmesg |grep hd command i get hda and hdb so i'm assuming that it picks up my 2 hard drives.

ide0: BM-DMA at 0x4000-0x4007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x4008-0x400f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hda: FUJITSU MPD3084AT, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC WD200BB-00CXA0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: LG CD-RW CED-8120B, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdd: LTN483, ATAPI CDROM drive
hda: FUJITSU MPD3084AT, 8063MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=1027/255/63
hdb: WDC WD200BB-00CXA0, 19092MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=38792/16/63
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1

But i've got it writing files to the wrong one...i want it to write all my big files that i transfer to hdb1...is there any way i can do this?

[root@linksys /root]# df
