Check the bios settings. That is an SATA drive, you may need to enable
legacy support to get things working. I had problems with an IDE
chipset on the new G33 intel boards I got recently. The solution was to
buy SATA drives (samsung actually, same brand as you), and set the bios
to treat them as legacy/ide emulated. It has nothing to do with the
drive itself, but rather EIDE/SATA controller chipsets.
Hope that helps,

Hi,
Still having problems getting installer to get past the "cannot find
needed device" part. Some hunting with (Crtl-Alt-F4) and
(Crtl-Alt-F3) tells me that no CDrom has been found. How do I find
out what driver(s) the installer uses for the cdrom drive so it can
proceed?
I suspect they don't yet support my new drive, which is:
TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653N cdrom/dvd
Previous successful installations were on machines with these CDroms:
1. SONY CDRWDVD CRX310EE
2. TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H652M
The TSSTcorp manufacturer hasn't responded to my request for a Linux
driver and haven't found any on the web yet. Also I don't known how
to find it on the SL install disks.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
R.Soares
