I just bought and am trying to install Red Hat 5.1, but it doesn't
seem to recognize my IDE hard drive.
The error occurs right after it asks me if I have any SCSI adapters.
I answer "no", and then it asks me if I would like to use Disk Druid
or fdisk to partition and set up my hard disk.
If I answer "Disk Druid" it says that "no valid devices were found on
which to create new filesystems."
If I answer "fdisk" it says "You do not have any hard drives
available"
My machine is a 486/25 with 16 mb of ram. The hard disk is currently
FAT16 formatted and partitioned into two sections of 16 and 100 mb.
DOS can read my hard disk fine. The Linux boot disk can read my
CD-ROM fine.
Anyone have an idea of what is wrong? TIA,
Eric Jansson
