<div id="RTEContent"> <div id="RTEContent">Thanks for your kind reply. (I think Aaron's e-mail was sent to only me, so I am repeating.) It's weird... I initially had FC3 INSTALLED on my computer with SATA drive. But since partition table got hosed, I wiped out the hard drive, and installed FC4. Now, a program that I use doesn't run correctly on FC4 (whereas it runs cleanly on FC3), so I wanted to install FC3 back again. But this time it doesn't even install. Thanks for your help, in advance. --peter P.S. I think I was a much better person before I met Linux and dual-booting and partitioning... akonstam@trinity.edu wrote: <blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> On Mon, Nov 28, 2005 at 04:52:22PM -0800, peter wu wrote: > Yes.

Or to put it another way it would not surprise me that FC4 could recognize your drives and FC3 cannot.

You probably need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed. Would you like to select drivers now?" If I choose a device, or just go ahead with installation, I get to Disk Partitioning Setup. When I ask for automatic partitioning, I get this message: "No Drives Found: An error has occurred. No valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem."
