    Unfortunatly that didnt work?? I checked under proc/scsi/esp and the
    drive is listed int the 0 file..
    But when I go to fdisk it it says unable to open /dev/sda Any help
    would be greatly appreciated.. Like I said before if I use the disk that
    came with the machine it will install no problem...

    Any insight would be greatly apprecited..
