Red Hat9 can not recognise vfat partition in 2nd disk - Linux Setup, Configuration & Administration

[James]

Hi, all

I have installed Red Hat 9 and window 2000 in my PC in 1st disk.
they works well. after i add 2nd disk, windows 2000 ask me to
create a "Simple Volume" on it, and i did so. then I made 2
partition on it(fat32). every thing is OK in windows 2000.

but when i turn to linux, fdisk show only 1 partition in /dev/hdb.
and this partition own the whole disk space. so i can not read/write
data in the partitions in my 2nd disk.

why? do i need to build a module to support windows Simple Volume?
who can help me without change any partitions in my 2nd disk?

thanks!

You need to find out what a "Simple Volume" is. Ask a Windows person.

Some research for you:

to operating systems other than Windows 2000. This is a one-way process. In
order to change back to basic disk format, the drive must be repartitioned.
