I just installed Mint 7. I have two hard drives I installed mint on the first one and formatted the second one. I can see the drive in gparted but I do not know how to have the drive available when I boot.
Thank You for your Help

Re: Can not see second hard drive
Is there another operating system on that second drive or is it just a formatted drive with no OS? If the latter then you have access to that drive through the file manager (Nautilus), just as you would in MS Windows. Click the Computer icon on the desktop.
If there is a second OS on that other drive so you are asking to dual boot then it should be in the boot list at the start if you installed Mint correctly.

I clicked on the icon and the hard drive is not there.

Open a terminal and show us the output of the following commands:
sudo fdisk -l
df -h
sudo fdisk -l
df -h

Or... you can just auto mount it the old fashioned way and not have to worry about it anymore.
