Select language, keyboard, coming to Disk partitioning, select
automatically (does not matter which)-> Message box  "An error has
occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new file
systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem"

Pressing OK shuts down the installation.

Fixed. I found the drive under /dev/i2o/hda.

report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem

Thank you.
