Hello Forum,

I am getting a very strange symptom whilst doing an install of CentOS on to an X64 system and I was wondering if anyone else had seen this problem.

I have two disks (PATA) installed to IDE0 (master) and the CDROM installed to IDE1 (slave) as a slave device.
When I boot up the machine the BIOS see's all three devices, when I begin the installation of Linux, hda, hdb, and hdd are being seen by the linux boot process, however, when it comes to choosing the disk(s) to install to, nothing is listed !. If I remove the power cable from the slave disk (hdb) then the install process see disk hda. I have already partitioned the disks using "GPARTED" as I have very specific setup I want to follow, do I have a duff disk ?? even though the BIOS on the machine sees the disk and the Linux installation initially sees the disk ?

Thanks in advance
