RE: hard disk not recognized
The disk has 3 partitions. One is for Windows, the other 2 are for Linux.
The Linux part is formatted for linux and works fine as long as I don't use
the controller card. I'm wondering if Linux just doesn't know about this
kind of card? Bob

Subject: Re: hard disk not recognized
it may be a stupid question but i have to ask did you happen to reformat
the drive to use the linux filesystem(ext2fs?) or is it using a MS windows
"compadible" file system ? i can't imaigne why a drive wouldnt be
recognized if the filesystem was compadible. with the exception of a
broken bios(which i've only seen once, long story im sure its not what
your experiencing)
