Q. Why Linux is not detecting or recognize my attached hard disk? How do I install Linux on SATA hard disks?my computer is AMD-64(hp)Athlon
I am having trouble getting my AMD64 desktop, running Fedora 9, to recognize an external SATA hard drive, using USB. The system utilizes an internal SATA h/d for its primary storage. The system works fine for all other external devices including IDE drives, thumb drives, etc. Any help would be appreciated. TIA
