Do you have SATA hard drives or a RAID configuration? You may need to provide drivers for your drive controller chipset for the installation to create filesystems on the disk(s).

i think its SATA Hard Drives. How do i provide the drivers ( how to get the drivers anyways) sory im still new in this Linux thing

[Mahstah]

You will need to download SATA chipset drivers for Linux and then specify them during the installation for the OS to recognize the drive(s). Check the mobo driver download page for the drivers.

IDE, RAID & SATA Drivers

from :

is it this one?

What drivers you use will depend on the chipset number on the motherboard or add-on card if you use one. Your question would get a lot more responses on a Linux forum, I can help but only visit here a couple times a day. It looks like you're going in the right direction if your chipset is one of the ones listed there.

Really it's about info at the moment, all the specs of your system, do you have a VIA motherboard, give the specs/details. At the moment you have a PC that you are trying to install Linux on. You downloaded some drivers, and you dont know if they are the right Drivers. You should try a specific Linux forum
