New SATA Hard Drive

[Karl Larsen]

    Today I installed the SATA hard drive I ordered and on the 
motherboard I found a SATA power plug and I plugged this drive into the 
SATA1 plug. I looked at the BIOS and it calls it an IDE drive but way 
out in position. I saw no way to tell BIOS it is really a SATA drive. I 
guess this is normal :-)

    I went looking for the new hard drive with "fdisk" and it was called 
/dev/sdf by this F7 computer. I plan to put Windows XP in the first 
partition so it will be happy. It's an 8 GB partition so it will be 
enough since I will never use it.

    Linux will be this F7 transfered to that hard drive in parts. Or it 
may be a whole new load. This has not been worked out yet.
