Today I installed the SATA hard drive I ordered and on the
motherboard I found a SATA power plug and I plugged this drive into the
SATA1 plug. I looked at the BIOS and it calls it an IDE drive but way
out in position. I saw no way to tell BIOS it is really a SATA drive. I
guess this is normal :-)
I went looking for the new hard drive with "fdisk" and it was called
/dev/sdf by this F7 computer. I plan to put Windows XP in the first
partition so it will be happy. It's an 8 GB partition so it will be
enough since I will never use it.
Linux will be this F7 transfered to that hard drive in parts. Or it
may be a whole new load. This has not been worked out yet.
