Hi.
I currently have XP running on GA-7n400 pro2 motherboard, XP2600, 512MB,
120GB SATA.
In my BIOS, my SATA drive is not detected, I select to boot from SCSI and
have SATAlink drivers installed for it to work, so i guess I can call it
SATA/SCSI unless it's called otherwise.
I have CDROM and CDRW on my second IDE channel, and want to install Linux on
a 40GB disk on IDE1.
The plan is to install lilo on the linux root partition, and boot with the
NTloader.
The problem is i have no idea how to do this, During Slackware10.0
installation, i choose to install on /dev/hda1, swap on hda5, and a fat32
share drive hda6 (pre-partitioned) I get to the lilo installation and it
won't install on the linux root partition, i got an error.

Do I neet SATAlink drivers for linux to do install?

Could anyone offer me some help or point me in the right direction? I've
been googling for days!
