Sorry for the slew of n00bie questions, but here is one more. I recently partitioned my 1.5TB harddrive according to this question

I then bought this to attach the harddrive to my network.

The problem is, how do I navigate to the hard drive to move files over the network to the HDD.

should this be moved to serverfault?

update: the disk isn't even showing up when i call "fdisk -l" (as root). How can I mount it if I can't even find it?

[root@Moonface ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l

fdisk for the most part won't show you any information about any drive that isn't directly connected to the machine. You need to open the manual that came with your NAS device and read it in order to determine how to configure the NAS device and access your drive.

  • but i did nothing in order to access it from my Fiance's windows machine. The drive is available on the network, just not visible to my Fedora box.

  • and, in fact, the only documentation that came with my NAS device was a min-CD rom that has the program Bonjour for windows.

  • @Ramy: How does your fiancé's machine get to it? Jan 3, 2011 at 3:00
  • start->network->SIMPLENET->untitled-a1

  • untitled-a1 is the (apparently) default name for the shared-drive
