Recognizing a hard drive

[Shaun Oliver]

*SNIP*
How do I go about mounting it and formatting it to ext2 for linux use?

first of all, you don't mount the drive until after you've formatted it.
you need to repartition it in anycase before reformatting.
use fdisk or cfdisk for that task, fyi, I meant the linux version of
fdisk.

once you've partitioned the drive you can format it and then mount it on
whatever mount point you desire.
