Mounting second Hard Drive (Mtab,Fstab)

[Rich]

I've got a secondary hard drive which I partitioned with Qtparted. It is hdc1.
I created a desktop Icon but cannot mount it because of the Mstab,Fstab files in /etc.

Do I need entries in both files to get the computer to find and recognize it?

What do I need to enter specifically in either file to get it to mount properly. I'd like to use this drive
for photo storage and panorama file manipulation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab


mount: can't find dev/hdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

I've seen these articles. . . Ok tell me what's the problem and what to rewrite to correct this mess. I'm still in the dark. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Once again any help would be appreciate. . .

What was the command you used to (try to) mount it?

Re: Mounting second Hard Drive (Mtab,Fstab)

/dev/hdc1

I assume you mean "mount /dev/hdc1".

Anyway, it's complaining because you didn't specify a mount point, and it can't find an entry in the fstab.

Make sure the directory /media/hdc1 (or wherever you want to mount it) exists (i.e. "sudo mkdir /media/hdc1"). You can then mount it there with "sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/hdc1".
