New laptop arrives choking on Vista premium home edition. The first and only dvd to find it way into the dvd drive -- openSuSE 10.3. Bye bye Vista... David, be careful how you delete Vista, if you do. I made the mistake of simply deleting the partition and had to do some magical ms incantations to get my hd to come back up and be recognized. It had to do with the way

Richard Sounds like you didn't have a SAS driver or a driver for your Hard Drive. You just need to download the manufac. driver put it on a floppy (or does vista support cd's now?) and load during installation.

'Splain that Ben, what is a sas driver? (Still trying to get my head around SATA, not worked my way up to sas yet).

ATA => SATA (Serial Attached ATA) SCSI => SAS ( Serial Attached SCSI)

Is there another thing that end up being a binary driver?
