I tried to install Red Hat Linux 9.1 and FC3 to Dell
Dimension 8400 which I purchased recently. Both systems show the same
error message “No Device Found”. The PC has Intel Pentium 4
processor 550 (3.4 GHz) w/HT technology and 1MB cache, Intel 925XExpress
Chipset, 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533 MHz, 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (WDC WD
2500JD-75HBB0, 7200 RPM. Anyone can tell me if this system is supported by
FC3. If no, what are the major issues? SATA hard drive or the
Chipset? If yes, what are the solutions? By the way, I used the windows XP home edition to partition
the hard drive into 3 partitions: 170 GB as NTFS which is installed as Windows
XP Home Edition; 30 GB as FAT32 and 30 GB as FAT32. I also tried to
boot the Linux in Rescue mode from the CD and used FDISK to look at the
partitions. Unfortunately, the FDISK does not recognize the hard drive. Thanks, Hong |
