HDD not found during installation
Hi All,
I need some help for installin Suse 9.3 to my note book.
It an Acer Aspire 3500. During installation I keep getting "no hard disk found" message.
It has a Hitachi travelstar ATA-6 60 Gb hdd.
There was win in the beginning and i tried to make a dual boot. but it gave me the same error message. then i completely removed Xp and leave the disk totally unpartitioned. nothing has changed. then I installed the latest bios available from acer again no change.
I tried ACPI off and safe intallation settings, No
I insert "hda=cyl,head,sector" to the bootprompt. This time i did not get an error message maybe because it did not search for the hardware. but the capacity was 2 Gb. Installation started without being able to create proposed partition table. This time the message is "Unable to mount /swap to the hda1. Unless you are sure what you are doing abort the installation." I am stuck here
Any tricks fould be very helpful.
Regards
Yalin
