I am trying to install Linux on a PIII 550 with a Promise UDMA Ultra 66 controller card. I have a second hard drive on the primary IDE controller that I would like to install Linux on. When I boot into the install and come to Disk Druid or any other mechanism for partitioning I see only 1 hard drive hda with partitions hda1 and hda2. I initially had this drive installed in another computer with Linux on it awhile ago however I want to play with some other Linux flavors. Which drive is HDA1. That seems to me to be the the first partition off of the primary ide controller...<br>
or is it? Can anyone help me?<br>

Thanks,<br>
