"No disk drive detected" during install on SATA drive.



Hello,

I am having trouble setting up a dual boot situation on the following hardware:

Soyo kt600 Dragon V2.0
Athlon XP 3200
(2) Hitachi 80GB SATA hard drives

Currently I have WinXp installed and functioning on "Disk 0". I would like to install Debian 3.0 on the second drive. The second drive "Disk 1" is recognized in the BIOS and in Computer Management as "Unallocated". I have not partitioned or formatted it yet.

I boot from the Debian cd and am able to get past the "Setup keyboard" portion of the install then I get the error "No disk drives were detected". The "Next" prompt says "Preload essential modules from a floppy". Does this mean that I need SATA drivers for Debian? If so, where do I get them and how do I install them?


Thanks,
Robert
