I am new to Linux so these are basic questions.

I have two hard drives in my computer. At boot time both drives are
recognized by the system. The primary drive has three partions
HDA1-3. The secondary master shows up as HDC1 with a single partition
comprising the entire disk. When I go into the hardware browser both
drives are there. When I go to the disk mount utility HDC1 does not
show up.

Does this mean the HDC1 is mounted already?

I would like to make a DOS partition on the second hard drive but when
I try and do it using FDISK from the root directory I get "permission
denied" What am I doing wrong?

If I chose to use Disk Druid instead of FDISK how do I call the
program?

Is there any particularily good book someone should have as a
reference for RH 9.0?

Thanks,
Joe
