OS: Ubuntu


Just installed Ubuntu, a few questions

I had been playing around with Ubuntu on my friends computer and really enjoyed it. Seeing how my Windows XP was virus filled and was in needing of a reformat I thought I may as well finally make the switch over to linux.

I have installed Ubuntu quickly with no errors and did a format on my 30GB hard drive before hand. It is up and running smoothly but I have just a few newbie questions for you guys

I have my 30GB hard drive which the OS is installed on showing up fine. However I also have an 80GB hard drive which I use for music and games that isn't showing up anywhere. Is there something I need to do so that my second hard drive will be recognized?

Secondly I'm not sure which audio/video drivers I'll need to install to be able to play music/movies, play games etc. I have a JVC sterio system connected to my computer via USB but cant seem to get audio playing.

Also, I'm unsure of which hardware I have, does Ubuntu have its own version of 'dxdiag' to find this out?

Any help for this linux newb is much appreciated

thanks in advance
