Media not found on Fujitsu Amilo Xa2528


Hi everybody

I try to install OpenSuse on a laptop Fujitsu Amilo Xa2528, in dual boot with Vista. Vista works fine.

For partionning I use GParted, which does not boot and stops with following messages:
Code:
hda : status error: status error=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
ide : failed opcode was: unkown
hda: drive not ready for command
stdin: error 0
mount: No such device
I also tried systemRescueCD, which fails with:
Code:
>> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/sr0
>> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/sda
>> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/sda1
!! Media not found
!! Could not find CD to boot, something else needed!
!! Running a mini shell (cannot complete the boot process)
SystemRescueCD mini shell gives:
Code:
ls /dev/sd*    --> /dev/sda /dev/sda1
ls /dev/sr*    --> /dev/sr0
mkdir /testmnt
mount -r /dev/sr0 /testmnt --> : No such device or address

I'm stuck. Thanks in advance for your help

This appears to be an issue with this laptop:

and if you can read french:

Can you set up a flash drive as a linux bootable and try that?
