SATA Hard Drive with SATA PCI Card

[jason_newLinuxMCE]

I added an SATA PCI card and 1 TB SATA Hard Drive. I also have a DVD drive attached to the new SATA PCI Card.

LinuxMCE does not recognize this new drive.

Do I need to format the drive? If so... exactly how do I do that?

Quick questions may seem silly.

I am not sure from you issue, is the dvd drive detected?

Can the system see the card (are the drivers installed)?

If you do sudo fdisk -l, do you see the drive listed along with your original drive? May  get here cannot seek /dev/<drive>.

if you do in the following ls -d /dev/sd* or ls -lt /dev/sd*(this gives the time also), do you see an additional sd* device or more than one, lets say sda, sdb.

I upgraded to 0810 and everything is much clearer to me now.

When I did: fdisk -l, I found there was no partition. I followed some instructions on fdisk and got a partition defined.

All is well now. Thanks for the help.
