FC7 doesnt detect my new SATA drives

[rugbert]

I can see them in my BIOS but the mount command doesnt show them. So I cant format them or use them,

It doesnt look like my BIOS gives me the option to set them as ACHI (i think thats what its called) only toggle between RAID mode and not RAID (or as the description claims, IDE). So its in "IDE" mode but FC wont detect them!

oh the mobo is Asus P4P 8000 se

mount command is only going to show partitions that are mounted based on the configuration in /etc/fstab. Not knowing your system I guess you already have a sata drive in it and using it under FC7. If so to see if the system sees the drives use this command as root. ' /sbin/fdisk -l '. Guessing you already have a sata drive and added two addtional drives I would say you see the following /dev/sda /dev/sdb, and /dev/sdc. If so post the output of fdisk command and what you want out of the drives when done.

erp thats it. I knew I was missing something. I ran the fdisk command as a regular user and it did take and then I had a complete lapse of what to do next. Thanks!

Very common for users not to be able /sbin/ commands because not in a default users path. Some of the commands can be used as user but limited usage and others cannot be used at all based on permission settings for the command.

So I am guessing you are finding the new drives now?
