Error DSL Cfdisk error
I'm trying to instal dsl to hd ,but cfdisk comand returns an error.
dmesg | grep hda returns :
Optarac DVD RW AD-7530B, ATAPI CD/DVD-rom drive
attached ide-scsi driver
So i figure that is the problem.Right?
What should i do?

You're trying to partition a CD/DVD disk?

Does DSL mean a DSL modem or does it mean 'damnsmalllinux' or something else?

Linux hard drives are often not named hd[a-z] any more. Try 'fdisk -l' to list all drives and see which one is the hard disk, it's probably sda.

Yes, I'm refering to Damn small linux Smilie.I tryed fdisk -l but it shows nothing and cfdisk sda is gives the same eror as cfdisk hda. Is there another way I could get knowledge of HDD location?

cat /proc/partitions

Cat /proc/partitions show an empty table.Should there be partitions
before cfdisk command is used?

It doesn't see it. Perhaps it doesn't have a working driver for your machine. What is it?
