But every time during the hardware detection he said he couldn't find a Harddisk??? I have a: ASUS P4R800-V Deluxe motherboard Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz (Prescott) processor 2 x Western Digital 160 JD (SATA 160GB) harddisks My motherboard has a SIS raid-sata controller. But when I look at Suse to the running drivers, he already started a driver for that controller! But still he can't find the HDS. I've already tried to install a new BIOS version, but this didn't solve the problem. Could sombody please help me with this problem??
