Merry Crimbo all,
Got XP running on my system, I want to try installing Linux as a 2nd OS. I'm gonna have a go at making a image for the dreambox 500-C.
My system:-
IDE1 - ATA - Music/Pictures - E:
IDE2 - ATA - Backup Files - F:
SATA1 - XP OS - C:
SATA2 - Empty - D:
I wanted to install Debian onto the SATA2 drive as its sitting there empty, Debian can't see my SATA drives, only my ATA drives. Tried Ubuntu on the Live CD, then choose the install to HDD option, this can see my ATA and SATA drives but when I choose to install it on SATA2 - D: it does the partition walkthrough with me, then looks to install ubuntu, tells me to reboot but the system can only see XP as the OS.
Once I'm in XP and I goto Disk Manamgment and look at SATA2 - D: it has split up into partitions as I've asked but the filesystem on the newely created partition is marked as unknown and its empty.
Is this cos I'm trying to use SATA drives with Linux?
Any help much appreciated.
Thx....
