KDK:
Thanks for the tip. I think I misunderstood what
Legacy meant :) As a matter of fact, I don't see
the hard drives in the BIOS anywhere! I know the
company that put the computer together said they
got XP running on it, so I tend to think it worked at
one point. I'm downloading RedHat 8 right now
to see if that will recognize the drives.

Hello:
I have an Intel S875WP1-E MOBO and two Seagate 120 gig drives. Every
time I try to install FreeBSD, I can get to the part to partition
drives but it doesn't find any! I went into BIOS and set it up for
Legacy mode, but still no go. Anyone else seen this issue?
Please wrap your lines at 80 characters as a
courtesy to those who read mail via text clients.
I'm curious why you chose to enable Legacy
mode for *120* GB hard drives. I'd be more
inclined to think that the drives are too big and
too new to be detected properly.
Does the BIOS report the drives?
Do other operating systems find the drives?
I suppose it's possible that the IDE/ATA controller
on the mobo is not supported by FreeBSD, but
I really doubt it. As a third resort, check out
the hardware compatibility list at the web site.
