Harddisk is not detected during linux installation
Hi All,

I want to install Fedora Core-3 on Dell Optiplex 755 machine but when I am trying to install it, it is not detecting the hard-drive and unable to install it. When I tried to install Windows Xp, no problem for it and installed successfully.

My harddisk is WDC WD800JD-75MSA3 (80 GB).

Can anybody please help me.

Thanks in advance...

Fedora Core 3 is extremely old. They don't call it Fedora Core any more, just Fedora, and there's already a Fedora 12!

It's probably not the hard drive it's having trouble detecting but the disk controller.

As for windows xp having no trouble, do you mean a generic windows xp cd or a restore disk made by dell? often the manufacturer bundles special drivers.
