I have a 3 hard drive system running on a Highpoint HPT370 DMA 100 Raid controller, with Win Me on disk 1, Win 2000 on disk 2, and an empty FAT32-formatted 6 gig drive for disk 3. I'm not running a Raid of course, but the drives are connected to Raid controller (I'm running a CDRW and a CDROM on the IDE controllers)
So I want to install Red Hat 7.1 on the empty 6 gig; I start the install process, and it says there is no space for auto partitioning, and it doesn't assign drive letters (i.e. hda1, hda2, etc) to the WinME, Win2000, or the empty 6 gig drive partitions.
So would I delete the 6 gig FAT32 partition, then manually add the /, Swap, and user partitions, or is something else going on here? I'm wondering if the Raid controller is throwing a wrentch into this and causing Disk Druid to misinterpret the drives...
I've never done a Linux install on a system with a Raid controller, so I'm sketched about it.
I hope this made sense, and Thanks for any help!
