Hello,
I am trying to install FC3 on an Alienware 7700, to a secondary hard
disk. I am not really familiar with SATA drives, and Windows Xp has
them as SCSI drives. Is there a recommended driver to use for these
drives, or some other tactic i need to use in order for anaconda to
detect them?
Thank You
Hi Ryan,
Linux detects SATA drives as SCSI.
Generally your sata controller and the drives should be automatically detected, unless you use the so called "hardware" RAID /fakeraid feature of some of the onboard SATA controllers.
Though most of the controllers are natively supported and detected, there might be a few which are not supported/poorly supported.
Telling us which controller you have would me more helpful.
