    Hello,

    I am having trouble setting up a dual boot situation on the following
    hardware:

    Soyo kt600 Dragon V2.0
    Athlon XP 3200
    (2) Hitachi 80GB SATA hard drives

    Currently I have WinXp installed and functioning on "Disk 0". I would
    like to install Debian 3.0 on the second drive. The second drive "Disk
    1" is recognized in the BIOS and in Computer Management as
    "Unallocated". I have not partitioned or formatted it yet.

    I boot from the Debian cd and am able to get past the "Setup keyboard"
    portion of the install then I get the error "No disk drives were
    detected". The "Next" prompt says "Preload essential modules from a
    floppy". Does this mean that I need SATA drivers for Debian? If so,
    where do I get them and how do I install them?

    Thanks,
    Robert
