Hi Guys,

Thanks to all the suggestions.

If I enable AHCI in my bios I can see and access my seagate ST350041 8AS 
Sata drive and install Linux, however the win partition is not 
available. If I disable AHCI in the bios, my winxp artiotion is 
available but not my linux partition. I do not get any help from Intel. 
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave
