When you freshly booted off the DSL livecd, do a
$ ls -d /mnt/sd* /mnt/hd*
and paste the results here.

Also, for fdisk/cfidsk try sdX where X is a b c d e f ...etc ... if you haven't tried already -or-During DSL bootup you can also see what it is (use the dma bootcode), or check the logs i.e. dmesg.
Note: when you partition using cfdisk, etc. , you use the disk device.

hi thehatsrule

with ref to your post:
$ ls -d /mnt/sd* /mnt/hd*

- - results - - >

ls: /mnt/sd*: No sduch file or directory
/mnt/hd

i looked in the /mnt/hd folder and it is empty.

based on the above, i think the rest of the post is arbitrary. i need to get the LIVECD to see the SATA drive.

thanks

Sorry if I mislead anyone, but it seems DSL does not support SATA out of the box.

Also in http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=14596 it seems DSL-N does though.

2.1(b) might also work
