I installed my new drive and put Ubuntu server on it. It was working fine except ubuntu server was a bit to raw for me. So, then I decided to go back to my old drive and use the new drive as a second drive (the old OS was still on the old drive). The old ubuntu loads fine but it cannot see the new drive. I have tried putting the second dirve in all the SATA ports I have and I can never seem to see the drive.?
I run the following command to try and reformat it:
fdisk /dev/sdb
and I get the following error:
Unable to open /dev/sdb
I do not have to set any physical pins to let it know it should be the second drive right? Its not like the old IDE days. Is there a certain order to the SATA ports on the board?
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated...
