This has not been too fun ... I have an ECS 755-a Mobo lying spare with AMD 64bit Ticker and mem bout a gig i think so hey, in all sensible wisdom a Linux file server is in order. I bought a Maxtor 6Y160M0 hard drive for it (using one on another set-up and their a good price) Hooked it all up and fired in a RH8 distro (only one I can get my hands on at the moment , North Scotland aint computer shop heaven) and im lucky to get ISDN to work as far as thinkin of DSL! So cant DL either) anyway all seemed fine booted up mem was stll good after being bagged and boxed. Well at least till I seen the no harddisk found error when i got to partitioning I remembered the drive is SATA, To prove i got is to partition an old 30 gig drive on IDE and it worked but i paid for this SATA drive and seems like the better option for a server. So basicly any hints on how I can get it to see the SATA drive ? Many thanks guys and HAppy New Year( all be it a bit late )
