So, even now, with BIOS adjusted, you're only seeing the jump drive? If you can't access any hard drives, then something else is going wrong. I'm honestly too dumb to know what I'm talking about here, but you'll have to enable "legacy mode" that doesn't use SATA or AHCI or whatever. If your machine doesn't allow that, then you're out of luck. Now, if you meant you can't see your (empty) hard drives in order to partition them, you may want to use SPFdisk, which allegedly could support SATA (not that I ever tried). So FD FDISK might not be able to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
