Dear All, I am new to this group. I just got a PC with motherboard Intel 915GAV. It has two Serial ATA Hard disks one of 120GB with WinXP and other 80GB I want to use for Fedora. I want to know what core of Fedore I should go for. I got Fedora Core 1 but it is unable to detect my hard drives. Will Fedora Core 2 Help? I read somewhere that Linux Kernel 2.6.x supports Serial ATA but Fedora docs mention nowhere on Serial ATA support is it there in fedora? If not where do I get Serial ATA driver? I looked at Seagate site (both my hard drives are Seagate) but nothing there on Serial ATA driver for Linux?
I want to install Fedora asap.
Regards Moreshwar

I am no guru. But I have an SATA HDD in my Linux server. And I built it from scratch (components) . My motherboard also has an SATA port, I installed FC2 without a hitch. I didn't try FC1 on that setup.
BTW.....any reason why you're not installing FC3?
Peace
Fedora core 2 and 3 should both detect SATA. If you still have trouble with it, in the BIOS menu, go to the "advanced" tab and look at the IDE configuration. By default, the IDE settings are set to "enhanced" Switch that to "legacy" and make sure SATA 0 and IDE pri and sec are active.
