Re: I can't get Linux to INSTALL! Help!

Is it a scsi harddrive?  Its possible that the boot disk you have does
not have support for whatever scsi card you are using.... If you don't
know, boot into windows, and go to the device manager (right click on my
computer, go to properties, click on devices tab) and see if there is a
scsi entry, if there is, tell us what it says.  If you don't have scsi,
then I'm stumpted, I can't imagine why the harddrive woudln't show up.
