Thanks for the reply Gary.
Unfortunately, I get the same result with RAID enabled. Funny thing is, I
see the correct driver (ata_piix) being loaded when Fedora Core install is
started. Then I get the message "No hard drives have been found. You
probably need to manually choose the drivers for the installation to
succeed. Would you like to select the drivers now?" I then select 'Yes'.
When I get to the 'Devices' screen, the correct driver is listed. I select
done, and then anaconda starts and the GUI installation screen comes up.
After specifying my country and language, I am prompted to select the type
of installation. I have tried Server and Custom. The next screen prompts to
specify how the drive will be partitioned. The options are Automatically and
Using Disk Druid. I have tried both options and each time I get the
following error message:
An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new
file systems. Please check you hardware for the cause of this problem.
I select 'OK' and the system reboots.
Getting VERY frustrated!

Hello,
I am attempting to install Fedora Core 3 on a Dell PowerEdge 1425SC with 2
160GB hard drives attached to the on-board SATA controller. Not using
RAID.
When I attempt to perform the install, I am prompted with a message
that
there are no hard drives found. I have seen some other people reporting
the
same thing with different PowerEdge models, but cannot seem to find
any
response containing a solution. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Thanks,

On an entirely different box I've found it necessary to enable raid in
the bios. Otherwise my SATA drives are not detected . gary
