    I have three 160GB HDDs in my comp and I have OpenSUSE installed on a 30GB partition, using the other 450GB as a file server. However, only the 30GB partition is recognized. How can I get it to recognize the other HDDs?

    Being this is a notebook forum, you might have better luck in the Suse Forums, although someone here might be able to help you. Were these HD's all there during install? The disk utility in system settings doesn't find them?

    I haven't set it up yet I just installed OpenSUSE and was verifying that it installed correctly and I noticed it. Right now its just a desktop with SUSE on it.

    What file system are the disks you can't read or write, or are they unformatted?
