Linux newbie here…Why won’t my LiveCD recognize both of my hard drives?
My WinXP hard drive recently crashed. I can still access it using my LinspireLive CD, but my slave drive doesn’t show up. My flash drive shows up as a dos disk, and my corrupted drive shows up as winxp, but my slave drive doesn’t show up at all. (I assume it would show up as a dos disk because there is no OS on it.) I tried booting up under Linspire Live without the flash drive plugged in, but the slave drive still did not show up. I would like to be able to move my important files from the corrupted drive to the slave drive. How can I get Linux to recognize my slave drive so that I can do this? (I’m relatively new to Linux so be gentle…LOL)

Linux Mint 6.0 vs Linux openSUSE 11.1?
I’m a linux newbie and i can’t decide which of these distributions is best for me. I’m considering mint since it has flash video enabled on it by default but i’m also considering SUSE since i hear it’s easier to use and has more drivers readily available for usb devices.
consider:
I ran suse for a day with the live cd (the KDE) and i REALLY liked it. i just had trouble installing anything on it—the flash video plugin (like i said, i’m a newbie) so i went to mint (gnome) and though it doesn’t have much eye-candy, it has the flash plug ins and it has very convenient GUI tools for installing programs (such as the package manager and the software manager). however i ran into issues when trying to install some of my usb devices since i really don’t know my way around the linux terminal. which distribution do you guys recommend/prefer?
