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!
