My Hard Drive is a Maxtor 7Y250M0. 250 Gig from Dell.
I haven't reformatted since I got it last week but I plan to before my install. I just popped the Mandrake CD's in to see if they would run and if I could check out the installer and figure out how to configure it without installing.
I plan to Dual Boot with XP Home/Mandrake 10.1
My Hard Drive Settings in my BIOS are as follows.
Drive 0 SATA 0
This field allows the user to disable/enable ATA/SATA
Controller Details
Controller = Serial ATA.
Port = SATA 0
Drive Details
Drive ID = Maxtor 7Y250M0
Capactiy = 250 GB
BIOS = This drive is controlled by System BIOS
BIOS = A04 01/10/05
Its a Dell Dimension 8400.
I have not partritioned or reinstalled windows yet. Would that just be the problem?
Also if anyone could link me to some good Dual Booting/Partitioning Guides I would thank you a lot?
Also I foudn this guide in the guide they change HDD Settings in the BIOS do I dare do it? Or will it corrupt my data? http://forums.us.dell.com/supportfor...essage.id=5859

Step 1 - Partition disk.
Boot into C:Windows XP.
Since the NTFS filesystem on F: appeared damaged, I first repaired it:
chkdsk /f f:
With Partition Magic the NTFS (2nd) partition on disk2 was resized, and an empty unformatted patition of 20 GB was made at the end of disk2.
Step 2 - Install Operating System Suse 9.2
Then Dell Dimension 8400 was booted into Bios (key F2 at boot) and temporarily the drives were set to Autoraid/ATA.
From the Suse Pro 9.2 DVD an install was done to disk2. Most hardware was recognized, but the monitor was set to Vesa, and there was no 3D for the ATI X300 card. Internet (via DHCP and DSL), sound worked. With Yast, many packages such as and various developer tools (compilers) and a lot of Qt3 (needed for 'xconfig') were installed.
I also compiled xxdiff from xxdiff.sourceforge.org, for comparing 'edited' files with copies of the original files.
Till this point one needs to switch the Bios drive settings to "Autoraid/AHCI" when one wants to reboot into Windows XP, and to switch to "Autoraid/ATA" for Linux.
