Funny story - I was psyched about installing lindows on my extra computer, i'd never used linux, and i wanted to check out this distribution, see how it is etc. I tried to install over XP but i got this funny message from lindows that I didnt have a hard drive to install to. I'm thinking WTF, well maybe the NTFS file system is messing with it or something. I proceed to wipe the hard drive reformat etc and go to reinistall lindows. Once again no hard drive. I was at a loss for what to do and began thinking maybe it was my onboard promise ATA100 controller on my older A7V. I checked around the Lindows forums... sure enough Lindows 4.5 does not currently support Promise ATA/Raid controllers. In other words, if you are one of the thousands of users out there with a promise controller, youre screwed. Now I have a clean computer and no OS unless i want to move my HD off the controller and down to an ATA66 channel... Any suggestions?
