Have you tried booting to desktop with the livecd and issue 'fdisk -l' as root from the terminal
to see if it detects any drives.?



Edward:

Thanks for the reply. No, I haven't tried this as I am still trying to figure out fdisk/cfdisk and parted. This is a whole new area to me and I've got alot of learning/understanding about what I should or can do ... and shouldn't do.

I will try tomorrow ... I've had enough Fedora for the day and want a bit of time to be Irish (said with a sip of appropriate celebration liquid)
