Hello; This may be more of a hardware question than software; please let me know what you think. I have a dual boot box with Windows on an IDE drive and a pair of SATA drives w/ linux, SuSE and Fedora. Windows boots, the SATA drives will not, and I cannot get SuSE ( I have old 9.1) to boot from the CD. It says after going through many things, "Starting hardware detection . . Activating usb devices . . . done Searching for infofile and it hangs there. Also, if I try to go through the steps to do an installation, it gets to YAST and spins. It is possible that my SATA controller has died? If I unplug the SATA contoller, should the system be able to boot from the CD?
