Linux: Format a second hard drive

Open System>Administration>Gnome Partition Editor. This will open up Gparted.

  • If it is not installed, open System>Administration>Synaptic and search & install the package.
  • The hardest part of using Gparted is selecting the drive you want to format.
  • In the upper right hand corner click on the drop down box and select the new drive.
  • Then select the unused space, create a new partition and format it.
