1. How do I can enter the resolv.conf? With su - ? what is the command to read/edit?

 

You must edit resolv.conf to find the linux with a windows XP? And how do I add the linux to a members group like in windows.

 

2. I cant find my second harddrive in linux. I have maked the a partition with Linux format. But I dont find it eny way. I think i have to add something in a file. A command line or something. But dont know what it is :)

 

Thanks for the help peoples :)

to edit files that require root privaledge simply type

 



Code:
su -




 

the - after su is important.

 

once done, you are logged in as root, and can edit files using a variety of methods, the editor i'd suggest you learn is called 'vi' and while it appears hard to use at first you'll get the hang of it after a while

 

vi /path/to/some/file

 

to see your hard discs as root type

 



Code:
fdisk -l




 

thats -l as in larry

 

cheers

sometimes Fedora automatically mounts windows devices and adds them to the /etc/fstab

so do cat /etc/fstab and see if you can see your windows mount point
