    SATA Hard Drive Issue

    Thanks for the posts guys, I couldn't find the module from Western Digital but I found out I was overlooking the switch in the BIOS to make it perform as a PATA hard drive. Thanks a lot!

    SATA Hard Drive Issue

    I recently got a Dell Dimension 8400 with a 160 GB Western Digital Serial ATA Hard Drive and tried to install Redhat 9 and then Fedora Core 2. Neither distro would recognize the hard drive so I looked in the BIOS for the option to make the SATA drive act like a PATA drive but could not find...

    Installing CD-ROM

    When I put the old CD-ROM back in the computer and try to boot up, it looks like it is checking for everything like normal and then just freezes after the lines "hdd: CD-ROM CDU76E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14" I don't understand why it says DVD-ROM, though...

    New user

    I recently installed Redhat 9 onto my old P133 computer. Needless to say, it runs extremely slow. Would installing an older version of Redhat make it run faster, and if so, does anyone know where I can download an old version?

    Thinking about Linux

    I am thinking about trying out Linux, but I know almost nothing about it. I was wondering is Linux compatible with programs written for other OSes (read Windows) and say a friend sends me a file (MS Word for example) to look over, would I be able to open such files and return an editted version...
