Hi, if it is working fine in XP, it may be not recognized by anaconda which is the FC3's installation script. I'm not much certain after that yet. hope somebody may help you, what is the brand and capacity of your drive? try mfg's tools if provided in their web like Western Digital's "Lifeguard" for capacity barriers.
Good Luck

The SATA drive is running fine under windows XP. It is not an issue of the BIOS not recognizing it. I can see it
in the BIOS withoug any problem.
thanks
I had a similar experience doing an FC3 install a couple of weeks ago. The BIOS default setting for the SATA controller was automatic--not sure what it means, but Windows worked just fine with it but FC3 couldn't find the drives. I suspect automatic mode makes the controller look like a RAID controller. I switched off the automatic mode and onto a non-RAID SATA mode and FC3 worked just fine. I would play with the BIOS and find a setting that works.
