Problem with SATA

[bohboh]

I went through installing dapper 606 on a sata drive and failed
miserably. I tried alsorts including removing the ata drive and
partitioning using gparted and not partition the drive during setup.

All wouldnt work for me, but did for others.

So, 

1. Try removing the ata drive
2. Format the drive using gparted in the livecd and then during the
setup choose not to format the drive.
