Hey people i'm very new to linux. I just put a extra 200 gig maxtor HD in my computer. Linux can tell it's there...but it says it cant mount it. How do i mount it manually?

thanks,
John

i'm guessing there is no filesystem currently on that disk ... see "man mke2fs" or something like that ... good luck!
