Default Disk Detection

I tried to set up a dual boot WinXP / Linux system with Redhat WS 3.0
and the install failed due to Redhat unable to detect any HD to
install on.

I then tried SuSE Prof 9.3 and this install worked OK. The HD was
detected w/o any problems.

I would like to purchase/install Debian (I used several years ago and
really liked better than RH or SuSE) but would like to know if Debian
will fail trying to detect my HD like Redhat did. I don't understand
why RH couldn't detect my HD. My system is only six months old.

All I know about the HD is "ST3160023AS" from the WinXP hardware
profile. My system is a Dell 8400 Pentium 4 Processor 560 with HT.
