Hey Michael,

Did you turn off SE linux? Hmm, or maybe it's enabled by default until
you hit the first boot sequence. Anyway, that could be a problem, it
might not be recognizing your drives because its not familiar with the
labels given (via Kubuntu or whatever).

No, I didn't. Actually, I don't remember a prompt that asked me about SE
Linux.

Did you enable a swap? When you installed, did you rename or edit the
names of all the partitions it gave? I find I have to do this, or it
won't give the partition a name, or it gives it one that's strange (such
as /usr1, /home1, etc, and then doesn't seem to recognize it), and it's
deceptive because the old name is listed in the listing, but the 'mount
as' part is blank.

Yes, I gave it a 1.5 gb swap. I did name the partitions using /, /home,
/windows

I've never had quite this problem with my installs, so I'm sort of
guessing. Hopefully people more expert than I will be along to help you
out.

I do appreciate the help. My guess is that (eventually) it's going to
turn out to be something simple. These are the types of questions that
lead to solutions.

Thanks much.
---Michael
