The solution to your problem was in my last post. Use the search here, and at google, or even better,
http://www.google.com/linux. The you put in your MOBO info, along with SATA, and see what comes up:
putting in
Intel 915GEV sata lead me to several good sites, including some right here on
http://linuxquestions.org Among the best I found:
http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about46764.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedo.../msg02445.html
Helping people understand linux is what this site is for, and seems to do a fine job of that. I can understand/remember being a brand newbie, and not knowing anything about commands and how to install software. The problem here isn't any of that. If you had done what I said, used google and the search here (through any computer, doesn't have to be a linux one), you would have found your answer.
You also could have helped yourself if you gave us some kind of an idea what the installer was saying. Some of the threads speak about an error message of not being able to locate disks, others a kernel panic. Both are also solved in the links I gave above, which you could have found for yourself with about 20 seconds of effort/work if you even consider it that.
Peace,
