Emergency help
 

ok well i always run windows, and i was trying to install Slackware 10.1 to an HP pavilion a730n which contains a Hard drive interfaceSerial ATA-150.
i do not know why this happened, but i made a partition to install linux since it didnt not even recognize my hard drive, because when i tried to run the cfdisk command, this came out

FATAL ERROR: Cannot read disk drive
Press any key to exit cfdisk

and now i cant even run windows, nor the recovery partition, neither install my slackware distro into the partition i made, id really appreciate some help right now, and really quick
thanx

please use useful thread titles in future... "Emergency Help" offers no insight to the content of your posts. thanks

SATA disks show up as scsi devices. You need to run "cfdisk /dev/sda". Just executing cfdisk will try to open /dev/hda.
