I have a Maxtor 120Mb sata hard drive on my computer partitioned with 2
partitions. The first partition Mandrake 10.0 has been installed the other
is free space. What I would like to do is install Debian 3.0r4 on the free
space. I have downloaded the DVD for Debian, when I boot it and start to
install, it doen't recognize the drives.
The motherboard is a Asus K8v-x, onboard sata controler. I checked to see if
Asus had some Linux drivers, and they had some RH7 raid drivers but i
don't know if that will work.
Any Help will be appreciated.
thanks

There should be a BIOS setting for your SATA controller which allows it
to behave more like a PATA controller. That might help.
