Problem with installing Redhat Entrerprise Linux 4 WS on Dimension 5150C
Hello everyone,
I ordered my Dell Dimension 5150C with Windows XP but I decided to use it for Redhat Entrerprise Linux 4 WS now.
I got the ISO images of RHEL burned on CD's and soon after firing up the installation in text mode a message appeared:
"No valid devices were found on which to create new file systems"
My local customer support could not really help and ushered me to this forum.
Following a hint on a Dell support forum, I changed the BIOS by setting SATA Operation to ATA (factory setting was AHCI) but on retry the same error message came up. SATA-0 and PATA-0 are both on by default, so I did not change them.
Can any one help please? I posted this message in the New Users forum but I got the advice it is at this forum that the chance for help should be better.

I'm having similar problem with WinXP w/SP2. During installation, it does not recognize the hard drive. Only available drivers are post installation...none for pre-installation. It looks for TXTSETUP.OEM driver.
How do I install WinXP OS?

So, I'm trying to format/install XP SP2 from scratch. Setup will not recognize that there is a hard drive installed. I tried downloading the SATA drivers from the Dell support site and loading SATA drivers manually, but I also get the "The file txtsetup.oem could not be found" error. Please help!
