You have setup the HDD correctly in the BIOS, right?

yeah that is right

*shrug*

google is your friend

cant say i've ever used cf cards under nix but it seems to me like it's trying to read it as a hdd, so trying to find out whats on it my guess is that it has no format of any kind or something allong thoughs lines

i am downloading i linux that will boot of a cd so a can put the cf on the primry ide

ill tell you how it goes
