Recognize Hard Drive space



Recently, I purchased a 27-gig hard drive to replace my
5 gig.  I keep Linux (SuSE 6.3) on a separate 10-gig
drive.  I used Partition Magic to set the 27-gig
as such:

22 gigs - Winders
5 gigs -  Formatted for Linux

Of course, Linux is on the second drive /dev/hdb1.
/dev/hba is Windows.

My dillemma: How do I get Linux to 'see' the
five gigs on /dev/hda?  I'm sure the solution
isn't that far-fetched, but I'm drawing a blank.

'course, I'm thinking that I have to recognize
that new five-gig section of space, make a file
system, et cetera.  And the 22-gigs has Winder$ 98
on it with a goodly amount of data, so in making
a new file system, I'm hoping I won't blow away
anything important.

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!
