Fedora10 install about 2 HDD.

Here is the detail information of my HDDs when I installed fedora10.

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd10cd10c

Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

/dev/sdb1 * 1 19457 156288321 42 SFS

The device sdb can only be recognized as sdb1, but it have four partitions. that is the question. How can I get the fedora10 system recognized the device sdb as sdb1,sdb2,sdb3,sdb4 ?

Seems to me that sdb is formatted in a windows-only format. I found this information about the filesystemcode:

42 SFS (Secure Filesystem)
SFS is an encrypted filesystem driver for DOS on 386+ PCs, written by Peter Gutmann.

42 Windows 2000 dynamic extended partition marker
If a partition table entry of type 0x42 is present in the legacy partition table, then W2K ignores the legacy partition table and uses a proprietary partition table and a proprietary partitioning scheme (LDM or DDM). As the Microsoft KnowledgeBase writes: Pure dynamic disks (those not containing any hard-linked partitions) have only a single partition table entry (type 42) to define the entire disk. Dynamic disks store their volume configuration in a database located in a 1-MB private region at the end of each dynamic disk.

I guess the second option is what is on your drive. I don't know if there is an existing linuxdriver to read/write to this fs.

IMO you have to save the data on it somewhere (using Windows 2000?) and then reformat this drive into a filesystem that is usable for linux.
But maybe some other expert has a better solution.
