[Live] New install need help
#1
Im currently building a media center and have three hard drives in it. Ive installed XMBC Live on the 120 GB and would like to know the below questions:

1. How do i use the other two (500) GB HD's i have for storage?

2. How do i format the storage drives?

I basically want to set it up as such:

120 GB HD partitioned with XBMC Live and ubuntu.
Both 500 GB HD's for storage accessible from XBMC and Ubuntu.

I figure ubuntu i can use for downloads and also set up an ftp server so i can transfer files from my windows box.

I am new to linux and have only had experience with xbmc on windows. Any help with all of the above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

FYI i haved tried removing the "nodiskmount" entry with no luck. One of the drives in the pc i am trying to mount is a storage drive formatted with ext4 from an old freenas server i had. I thought about setting up smb and just connect to my windows box but would like and stand alone mc that does not rely on my windows pc to be powered up to access media.
