Help with RH9/FC installation on new box Please

[Asplund, Marcus]

I have been using Red Hat (.0 for the last couple of years and Linux
        7.2 before that). I built a new box (Prescott 3.0 , Asus
P4P800deluxe
    Mobo,
        512 mb Crucial PC3200 DDR Dual Channel RAM, ATI Radeon 9700
graphics, WD
    120
        IDE HD (7200, *mb Buff, Non-SATA), Pioneer 107.? DVD-RW, Sound
Blaster
        Audigy NX Platinum. I installed Fedora Core on an old drive (20 GB)
and
    had
        the system up and going fairly quickly. I was not impressed though
with
        Fedora Core. I found that It didn't contain many of the server
related
        software that I Rely up in RH9 (no need to go into detail but FC
seems
    much
        to skimpy. I need to use the Machine for a MAIL, DNS, WEB, FTP,
Samba,
        Server for a small user group, as well as my home /Office
workstation. I
        have had my Old Box configured and doing all of the required tasks
to my
        liking with RH 9 and 7.2 previously. (The machine was only a P933
with
    512
        mb PC133SDRAM and was getting low on drive space and became rather
    sluggish
        for what I have been used to with my Linux Boxes. I decided to
Upgrade.
        After Building and installing FC I was not satisfied and decided to
    return
        to RH 9. Here's were the problems have begun. When I formatted and
    installed
        the 120G WD drive. I inserted the First ISO discs to install RH9 and
    precede
        to install . After the Primary Start Up /Installation screen  the
system
        probes for the hardware that is on the system prior to installation.
    When It
        gets to HD/ IDE specifications and their IRQ settings it freezes up
    after
        showing HDA 1 = Primary IDE DMA 5, PIO 3 IRQ 11
        Secondary IDE = DVD RW PIO 3 IRQ11
        Interrupt 11...................................
        	I have tried rearranging the hardware in bios and
physically. I get
        the same result . even starting into rescue mode and using the
noprobe
        command. I have tried reinstalling FC and Mandrake 10.1. Same
result. I
    have
        never run into this problem before. Does anyone else have experience
    with
        this Mobo. It is listed as being compatible with RH9 (and the rest
). Do
    I
        need to go down the SATA route and buy anew drive or is there any
other
        suggestions you could offer. I have been struggling with this for
some
    time
        now. I've never had a problem that I haven't been able to resolve in
    short
        order, even as a newbie. 

        ANY guidance would be very much appreciated.
         THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
