DELL Inspiron 6000 Disk Detection Wierdness

[jim biri <jim.biri@gmail.com>]

Hi,

 

Wonder if anyone can help. I've got a new DELL Inspiron 6000 that I'd like to install SARGE 3.1 on.

 

SARGE installer can't detect the h/d. Partitioner during install says "nothing partitionable" or words to that effect.

UBUNTU 5.04 can and detects it as: "SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - ATA HTS726060M9AT00"

 

I'd rather install SARGE than UBUNTU - anyone know how I can tell SARGE installer to detect the h/d?

 

Bit more info:

-  HTS726060M9AT00 [Hard drive] (60.01 GB) -- drive 0, s/n

-  Intel(R) 82801FBM Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2653

 

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Jim.
