Hi Thomas, You should have alook at setting up LVM. Once you have your 450GB on lvm you can migrate your 50GB over onto it and then expand the logical volume over the remaining 50GM regaining your full 500GB. Then when you get your next disk just add that to the volume and so on and so on. LVM has been useful to me when I have caught HDD failures in the past as well. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mydwnr">http://tinyurl.com/mydwnr</a> Have fun :D Regards <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Thomas <<a href="mailto:valhalla2100@comcast.net">valhalla2100@comcast.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Forgot again! Forgot to include a question. How can I set up the rest of a hard disk for Ubuntu? I am only using 50 GB of my 500 GB drive. Could not figure out what to do. I am planning to reinstall the 2nd hard disk and assume that the same solution would work for both.
