I am trying to Dual boot with W2K SP4 (Bigdog in my Profile) I have a 40 G Maxtor as Slave for Fedora.
I can boot with the DVD and installation proceed to a point of checking IDE drives. When it gets to HDC I get the following error;
"HDC request sense failure; error 0x44 ,aborted command ,last failed sense"
and installation stops>blackscreen no activity to 10 min.(Debian 3.1,Suse 9.2 installs no hitch)
I have tried noapic , noprobe ,nomediacheck no linux mediacheck.
I suspect but am not sure about a bios setting for the secoundary IDE channel
I tried changing the enhanced mode to compatibility mode(this is for Linux and legacy O/S's), but the rom drives disappear from my bios after F10 ing .
Anybody have some Help My Linux experience is Noob level but I am trying.
