Have existing HDD with old Fedora operating system that I made USB external for data backups. If I have it on at boot time with the new FC5 machine, it can't handle and hangs the process. I can't see it after boot. Can I make an entry to /etc/fstab, like hdb or hdb2, to get the drive in rw mode? Probably format then partition the beast before installing a filing system, whatever type you think is best suited? Thanks, David
