I downloaded the DVD ISO image from one of the public FTP sites (I think the DVD ISO is just the sum of the 3 CD ISOs). I booted to the linux setup, and, after a few steps, I see the message "Intel ... SATA controller found. Are there other devices?". If I click NO, I see "No valid devices were found on which to create a new filesystem." If I click YES, then I am presented with a long list that is titled something like 'common devices/drivers'. If I hook up my external hard drive (250gb Maxtor) via USB, the external drive shows up and lets me proceed to the 'install' step. However, my internal hard drive never shows up -- all I get is the "SATA found. Any other devices?" message... I have an I6000 with 80GB drive -- partition 1 (NTFS -- C:) being about 65gb, and partition 2 (FAT32 -- D:) about 10gb. Any suggestions? Why can't the setup see my main HDD (and the valid 2nd partition on which I want to install linux)?

That thread, however, hasn't been updated in a while, so I don't know if anyone found a solution.
