font-family:Arial'>I tried to install Red Hat Linux 9.1 and FC3 to Dell
Dimension 8400 which I purchased recently. Both systems show the same
error message “No Device Found”. The PC has Intel Pentium 4
processor 550 (3.4 GHz) w/HT technology and 1MB cache, Intel 925XExpress
Chipset, 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533 MHz, 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (WDC WD

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

FC3. If no, what are the major issues? SATA hard drive or the
Chipset? If yes, what are the solutions?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>By the way, I used the windows XP home edition to partition
the hard drive into 3 partitions: 170 GB as NTFS which is installed as Windows
XP Home Edition; 30 GB as FAT32 and 30 GB as FAT32. I also tried to
boot the Linux in Rescue mode from the CD and used FDISK to look at the
partitions. Unfortunately, the FDISK does not recognize the hard drive.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
