I had the same problem (almost) and it happend when i tried using the fdisk in the installation insted of the other more user friendly tool. it seems that fdisk has a problem reading the partition table in the raid, there are modifications to fdisk wich can, but for the instatlation using the disk druid should work (and dont forget to unmount the floppy if you whant to create a boot disk) Hope this helps ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanjeev Solanki" <sanjeev_solanki@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 5:12 AM Subject: Re: dual operating sys and FastTrack tx 2000...!!! > its was like this....i first put the FastTrack tx200 raid card joining two > (80+80 gig) hard disks, then installed win2k, while installation i saw one > hard disk of capacity 160 gig, i made many (like 20 gig,20 > gig....10gig...)partitions and left 30 gig as it is unpartioned. once i am > done with win2k installation, i started redhat linux 7.3 installation, i > tried several options at the first screen display at boot: like linux dd, > linux noprobe....once entered it asks for driver disk, i used the driver > from promise websitefor linux 7.3. once that is done and it comes to > partition screen with three options 1)automatic 2) druid disk 3)manual and > below that it shows just one big partition of 160 gig and no w\indow > partitions...and when i exit from that state and reboot my machine...i can > still boot in windows..which is still there.....thats the > problem...eventhough win2k is installed and there..i still cannot see win2k > partitions while installing linux...linux shows only one big partition of > 160 gig...i have tried several times and its same always..it never detects > win partitions but they are there...and i cannot move on further > installation....that will offcourse erase everything. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Samuel Flory" <sflory@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 1:13 AM > Subject: Re: dual operating sys and FastTrack tx 2000...!!! > > > > On Tue, 2002-08-27 at 02:51, Sanjeev Solanki wrote: > > > i am using FastTrack 2000 raid card with two matrox HDD's (80 Gig > each). i have already installed win2k and left partition of 30 gig for > redhat linux 7.3. i downloaded the drives from the site. even after > following the procedure mentioned in readme.txt i see whole HDD - 160 gig > inspite of partitioned 30 gig. i stopped installation further, because that > will erase perivious windows installation. how should i handle this > problem?. > > > > You should see the entire drive.
