Errmm.. have you tried it? If the installer doesn't detect it, you might need to create a custom boot disk so it's recognized. My suggestion would be to just try it first, not like it's going to hurt anything if it fails.

The redhat manuals actually cover this, have you taken a peek at them yet? You can find them on their documentation website at www.redhat.com

Hello..

I'm using AMD64 3200, K8n Neo2 nForce3, and SATA HD (Seagate ST380871AS), I try to install Linux Red Hat Enterprse 4.0 with my SATA HD which already installed with Win XP.

Before this my WinXP has 2 partition C: and D: using partition magic, C: which is the 1024 cylinder and D: is FAT. So in partition D: not in boot cylinder), i leave some space for this Linux, then boot from CD.

Then Linux detect my NV SATA controller.. continue until it ask for Create Partition Automatic, or manual (Druid).. then i've tried use Automatic Partition, then manual but both said

*An error has occurred- no valid device were found on which to create new file system. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.

Could someone tell me what actually i have to do.. which step i did wrong.. Thanks

*sorry for my english..
