Neorion Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hey all, Heres the situation. I just bought a computer out of the box with xp home edition. The stock harddrive is SATA. I installed a seperate IDE hardrive where linux Fedora has been installed to. I cant even see the sata harddrive during installation or fstab after installation. Since i cant see it all, is it possible to set up a dual-boot? Any Suggestions would greatly be appreciated. -jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Do you know what kind of SATA chipset is being used? You could also try going into the BIOS and seeing if the current SATA mode has an option for Legacy PATA or something to that affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neorion Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Its an intel board. Ill try that. Is there any possible say OS independent Cdrom bootloader that might be able to detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Maybe try Fedora Core 5 just in case FC4 doesn't support your sata controller. Of course, try the BIOS option first just in case :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
