I had a generic AMD64 computer built for me, and they put a SATA hard drive in it. It also has a motherboard with on-board NIC, video, and sound.
The Debian netinst CD would not detect the hard drive, NIC, video card, or sound card. I salvaged an old PCI NIC from a dead computer and also installed an IDE drive, and was able to successfully install to the IDE drive. I then fussed for a week and finally got the nVidia driver up and running. Still no sound, though. So, right now I have Debian running on the IDE drive while my 200 GB SATA drive is in the case, useless. I know enough to look under /dev, but it only lists my CD drive and the IDE drive with its partitions. My question is: what do I need to do to get my Debian system, which is running on an IDE hard drive, to recognize and mount a separate SATA drive? Forgive me if this is trivial, because I am rather new at administering Linux. Thanks in advance, Joe Legner __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
