Partition Problem - 'No Drives Found'
I'm attempting to install Red Hat 9.0 on my HP desktop but at the Disk Partitioning Setup page I get the following error:
'No drives found. An error has occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems.' I have plenty of space on both my C drive and another external drive. I have attempted to re-partition the external drive with a program called SwissKnife but this program does not see the external drive, though it does see the drive when I run it on my Toshiba laptop. I've googled for help but all I can come up with is to install a driver diskette which requires a floppy drive for booting, that I dont have. Any advice? Thanks for your time. Sincerely, Brian |
First of all, redhat 9 is not a good laptop distro, it can generate some problems. I suggest you try Ubuntu or some other ,more modern distro. RH just does not support laptops very well.

Thank you for responding. I'm attempting to install it on my HP desktop, not a laptop. What now??

Red Hat 9 is ANCIENT. Do not use it on anything. Try something from the 2000's at least. Ubuntu is fine, Fedora Core 4 is fine, something new and relatively up to date.
