NStar LQ Newbie Registered: Jul 2006 Posts: 1 Rep:	Mandriva 2006 Install Can't See External Drive? I am installing Mandriva 2006 X86-64Bit Free edition. But I can't get it to recognize my external USB 2.0 hard drive. When the install program asks which drive to load Linux on, it doesn't see the USB Drive. My Bios recognized external drives as boot devices, no problem. But my problem is that Mandriva Install doesn't recognize it. My config: Intel ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Motherboard Intel Pentium D 805 CPU Built-in video 1 intenal hard drive (windows) 1 external hard drive (USB 2.0; generic hard drive in a Nexstar case). Keyboard/Mouse.
