Hi everybody!
I've got a problem with Mandrake 7.2 installation. All goes well
until the programme asks me for existing SCSII driver. Recording
to the manual of my motherbard (ASUS VIA 761 Chipset) there is a
driver Promise. There is no such a driver in the list I have to
choose from. Anyway I try to say
no SCSII device and then the programme say there is no valid
device where the file system can be placed, check for hardware
error. My hard disk is
Seagate Barracuda IDE 30,8GB, so I assume that thye error is not
connected
with possible SCSII device error that I probably do. An
additional information is that my BIOS doesn't detect hard disk,
the field Primery Master say None when booting. Also in the Bios
Setup when I choose autodetect Primery Master the Bios doesn't
recognize any data (like PIO level or UDMA level). When I set
Secondary Master autodetect it chooses CD-recorder and gets the
information on PIO or UDMA.
Sorry if I haven't included enough information - I'm not to good
at it. I am very determined to install Linux on my desktop, but
can't deal with that stuff. If it helps the windows 98 goes
almost well and it recognizes all my three partitions of the
drive, which have been made by firm I bought the computer from
(thay used Partition Magic or some stuff that sounds similiar,
made three partitions 10GB each, and the partitions are in the
format compatibile with DOS or smth.)
Appreciate any comment
