Hi all,

I am trying to install and Triple Boot (win xp pro, Suse 10.0 (x86_64) and
an Suse 9.3 (32-bit version)) on an Acer 64-bit Tuirion.

Although I have been successfull in installing Winxp pro and Suse
10.0(x86_64), as soon as I start installing Suse Prof
9.3 .... I get a message "no disks found". (This happens on the second
install screen while "probing for the hard disks").

Trying to understand the reason for such "no such disk" error??

My systems comes with an 60GB HD drive. the partition information is below.

# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units =3D cylinders of 16065 * 512 =3D 8225280 bytes

 Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        1275    10241406    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2            1276        1407     1060290   82  Linux swap / Solari=
s
/dev/hda3            1408        2713    10490445   83  Linux

I would sincerely appreciate any help / comments / suggestions.

Thankz in Advance,
Guru Shashidher Swamy.
