I bought the hardware… Fred helped me to put it together… After some problems with the power-on (?), everything seems to be ok…except that to install Window$, you have to make a driver floppy to support the SATA drive…and this can only be done in Window$….

Do you see the logic??? You need to have win to install win!!!!!! I must be dreaming…

So I have to wait until tomorrow to make this fuckin’ floppy!!!!!

Until then, I downloaded the AMD 64 Gentoo Live CD and begun to install it….And guess what…Gentoo recognized my SATA drive directly!!! Who said linux is a mess to install?

Stay tuned for the end of the story….
