Well havin had a big sucsess on the laptop so i thoight i would at last try this box but alsa the install cd boots but is unable to find my sata disk now i know the disk is ok else i would not be typing this from suse . hardware info : AMD Quad Phenome cpu Nvidia GT220 1 Gb Mother board MSI ATI chipset SB700 /SB800 sata chip 4Gb ram Hdd 500Gb
What happens exactly when you boot the install CD? Do you get the ramfs prompt e.g.? Or does it boot completely but is just not able to find the harddisk?

Right hi all thanks for the replies it seems i have a a bit of a hardware problem , It seems that for some reason Arch does not like my Motherboard chipset i did have it as an MSI but it is actually a Foxconn A74ML-K . I have it working now but not using an SATA drive i have found an old IDE job and installed on that to get back on line there are still some odd bits giving grief but i can live with those till i get a new mother board and drive , Always had a lot of sucsess with A S Rock boards so see if i can find one to suit Thanks Pete ..
