Hi, Can anybody absolve me from my predicament ??
I just installed Red Hat 9 from the installation disks onto my spare old hard disk: 4.1 GB Quantum Fireball CR 4.3A. The installation detected my hard drive correctly and the installation was complete withot a hitch. It was reassuring to find the light beneath the hard disk glow intermittently!) However, after the installation, the system would not boot. I checked the BIOS and found that the BIOS had not detected the hard disk at all. I then removed the old hard disk and reconnected in exactly the same way (as master) my existing samsung hard disk which had win xp, restarted the computer and sure enough, the BIOS had detected the samsung hard disk correctly. Can anybody suggest to me the source of the problem and any possible solution? MY PC CONFIGURATION: Intel P4 2.4Ghz 800 Mhz Bus Intel 865GBF mobo with 865G chipset BIOS: latest BIOS P09 for the 865GBF mobo from Intel Hard disk giving problems: 4.1 GB Quantum Fireball CR 4.3A. existing hard disk: 80 GB Samsung SP8004H PUMA. P.S. I had enquired about Partition Magic in an earlier mail as I was thinking of installing Linux onto the original hard disk; however upon Mr Jayabrata Bhattacharya's suggestion am trying to see whther I can install onto a spare hard disk by myself.. BTW: SHUBHO BIJOYA TO ALL OF YOU. ------------------------------------------------- Click here to find your dream partner!
