Hi,

All you need to do is make a partition on that hard drive and edit the configuration file of the VM in /etc/xen/ It should say something like:

disk = ['phy:/dev/sdb1,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/sdc1,hdb,w']

Where /dev/sdc1 is the partition on your new hard drive. Reboot the VM and it will be available

Jeroen
