I have been unsuccessful in installing the current
version of Debian Linux downloaded from the UK Mirror.
The CD boots and asks for confirmation of the
Keyboard type after I specify a "vanilla" installation. Then the
installation program tells me that it cannot detect the hard disc on the system
and asks for a floppy.
The hard disc which is currently working with
Windows 98 is an IDE disc that came as standard with this Gateway PC (500 MHz
Pentium)
The BIOS is PheonixBios 4W4SB0X0.15A.0013.P08
(Version 4.0 Release 6.0)
The BIOS setup screen says that the Primary IDE
Controller is set to "None" and appears to be in some sort of "Auto" detect
mode. This puzzles me somewhat.
Obviously I am something of a beginner so can you
advise me how to overcome this?
Regards
Adrian
