FC3 ISO does not detect I82801FR SATA (Dell Dimension 8400)

[Jan Morales]

I actually found the answer shortly after I posted the question. There 
is a setting in my Dell Dimension 8400 BIOS under "Drives" called "SATA 
operation". The default is "RAID autodetect/AHCI". I changed it to 
"Combination" (SATA/PATA combination mode) and FC3 installed without a 
hitch--I'm using it now.
