Adding a new drive

| I finally got around to setting up a dedicated CentOS server on my other 
| PC. I added a new unformulated drive to the box, I am wondering how I 
| can format and mount it? I believe it's on /dev/hda...so I assume I just 
| need to run fdisk and create a primary partition on it.

| I also have another drive it's has stuff on it, it's type NTFS, so how 
| can I mount this drive on my system so I can view it's content?

I don't think CentOS has very good NTFS support.  Probably due to
dodgy legality in the US.  Red Hat is rather strict about that stuff.

Ubuntu has pretty good NTFS support, I think.

Since I don't use NTFS support much, and not recently, don't trust
what I just said.
