Comments/Problems: When it gets to step 4 of 7, the partitioner, it
brings up a list of devices, which is blank.
We bought a used computer, with the hard drive completely wiped. We
tried giving it a blank partition, in case the installer needed one,
even making it UNIX format because it sounded like it had the best
chance of working, and working well, with a *nix system. The hard
drive is set as the master, and is detected by the BIOS and something
called Ultimate Boot CD. It is a 20 gig IBM 'DeskStar' Hard Drive.
The computer boots from the CD without a problem. CD test found no
problems. I've been looking through the installation guide for
answers with no luck yet.
