Fedora Installation Problems

[Sushant Vengurlekar]

Hi

I don't have any IDE drives. But just as a note. I tried installing
ubuntu to see if it's a Linux issue and Ubuntu installed fine on both
machines. So I am guessing Fedora is missing some drivers. How can I fix
this?

Thanks

This probably due to the sata drives...

Did you try installing on a pata drive ?

three partitions on it. One has WinXP on it and other is just a Data
partition. The drive is a SATA Drive. When I reach the step which has
the various partitions option on it the Fedora installer cannot
recognize the drive. So I cannot go ahead. Did any one face such a
problem? I was trying to install Fedora 8.

Dell Dimension 5150 which also has a Sata drive on it with 3 partitions
one being for data and another for WINXP. On this machine the installer
hangs after the vmlinuz and the initrd lines on Ready and doesn’t
go ahead. Tried using the normal installation and text installation
option but same problem.
