It looks like no partitions have been created on the 2nd and 3rd hard drives
(hdb & hdc). That can be done with parted (partition editor). That should
be done with root privilige. Look at "man parted". Parted would be run
either in a root CLI (command line interface - equivalent of the Winblows
"command prompt) or in a root terminal under X-windows.
HTH, Tom
