Juts Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Hey im running an amd athlon 64 3000 with the dfi lanparty ut 250gb mobo. (nforce 3 chipset) I'm using a SATA hard drive and when i try to install redhat 9 it cant seem to detect it. Any ways around this? Windows detects the hard drive no problem.

markwolfe Veteran Posted August 31, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2005 It may be a chipset issue. However, RH9 is pretty old. I don't think SATA was around then (2003). I would try a current distro (Ubuntu, Fedora or such) before digging into this too deeply.

Juts Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Ill check some newer versions but i have the sneaking suspicion that my luck is going to follow its usual trend of being bad. Has anyone here installed linux on a SATA drive? I have windows installed right now and ide like to just add a partition to have both. Also, since redhat isnt going to work does anyone have a suggestion for another distro? Remember im new to linux.

The Red Hat distro was phased out quite a while ago in favor of Fedora (free) and RHEL (expensive). Although I suggest a distro like Ubuntu.

markwolfe Veteran Posted August 31, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2005 Yes, it can be done. Here is a link to some info (including some BIOS settings). http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/366212-install-redhat-9-on-a-sata-hdd/#findComment-586460723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
