    Assuming this is a clean and blank disk, you'll want to slice it up with 'fx'.
    Google for instructions. You'll then want to "mkfs" it, either from a booted
    IRIX system or from the installer. Google is once again your friend.

    : Do I have to switch the jumper settings to SE from LVD?

    It should auto-detect, but the appropriate jumper setting would be SE.

    : 2) format XFS on the secondary HD (same drive).

    Same procedure.

    : I need instructions on how to format properly in either primary HD (boot up
    : drive of courese)....and later on secondary drive for 9 GB extra space.

    Google is your friend.

    : Someone told me last year "all you have to do is go into BIOS, and go to
    : format
    : drive, thats is" huh?
    : I am not sure if primary scsi ID should be a 0 or 7 or 6? but my secondary
    : data HD drive is a 4.

    Generally you want the system drive to be ID 1, then number up from there.
