编辑虚拟机设置，在对话框中添加一个硬盘，我选择的是IDE接口（默认的是SCSI，但对于操作没有什么影响，只是在以后的显示中会不同）。
启动Vmware中的FC4，用root用户登录系统。操作有一定的危险性，每次的操作都要仔细确认。
使用fdisk –l 命令显示硬盘分区的情况。
[root@fc4 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 536 MB, 536870912 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1040 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Disk /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/sda: 85 MB, 85934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 1044 8281507+ 8e Linux LVM
以上标示蓝色的部分表示这个硬盘没有格式化，并且没有分区。使用命令来给它添加分区。
fdisk /dev/had
这个命令可以来分区，按照提示按M键来查看帮助，可以知道N键是用来创建新的分区。
它会提示创建一个主分区，还是一个逻辑分区，在这里我选择P创建一个主分区，输入一个分区号，这个号用来标记分区。然后它提示输入起始的cylinders（柱面），回车输入结束柱面。在这个地方我选择全部的容量，你也可以让它分成几个分区，比如这个是1-1040，那么你输入第一个结束的是521，那么没有用完的还可以接着分区。重复用N来创建。（附：在有些书上看到说从1开始不安全，在网上也有看到，可以从2柱面开始）
完成的时候，在提示输入的时候，输入W。写入就可以了。分区完成。
这时候对于这个分区还不能使用，也不能mount到系统中，因为它没有文件系统。要格式化下。
用命令mkfs –t ext3 –c /dev/hda1格式化成ext3格式。
mount到系统中就行了。可以修改/etc/fstab来让系统每次启动的时候自动挂接，添加硬盘就算完成了。

[如果在添加硬盘时用的是SCSI的接口，在会显示成sdb,因为系统中已经有一个SCSI的硬盘了。第二块会显示成sdb,详细可查阅Linux下硬盘分区的资料]

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1040.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
