I am trying to install Fedora core 3 on my computer in a dual boot setup. I have never installed Linux, nor have I even seen it in operation (other than the time I played around with Knopix for an hour or so).
Here is my current setup:
AMD FX-53
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (nforce4)
ATI X800 XT PCI-E
1gig (2x512mb) Kingston PC3200 @2-2-2-5
NEC ND-3500A DVD-RW
Seagate ST380817AS 2x80gig SATA Hard drives
Audigy 2 ZS
I have XP Pro currently set up on one of my hard drives. The other hard drive I am going to use for Linux. I have several problems though..
1. Do I need to reserve some space on my primary disk (that currently has XP Pro) for the boot loader..or can I do it without having to resize the XP partition?
2. When I get to the section where I am supposed to partition the drive, it says it can't find any hard drives. I figured it would be like the XP setup where it asks you to load any RAID/SATA drivers you might have...but there was nowhere to do that. How do I load the drivers so that Fedora can see the drives (my motherboard uses the Sil 3114 chip)?
3. Is there an nForce4 driver for Linux?
