I followed a tutorial online. It works, but I don't like how it works.
http://linux.justinhartman.com/Installing_a_second_hard_driveAre all additional drives treated as a folder? I use the GUI [Nautilus], so I really don't think of it that much. I can see how it would be easier in terminal.
Also - the drive doesn't show up in computer:/// - no biggie. I just bookmark the folder.
A graphical system partition editor / viewer is "system-config-lvm"
It displays fine but does not appear to be too user friendly. Gparted and QTparted failed to load. (go figure).
Job complete - i now have a 320GB drive and a 500GB drive for less than $50
