Triple booting. Where to install?

[shantanu]

hey buddY! r u using that RS480 ATI x200 chipset.. i suppose that only... i have used that thing and it is having silicon image SATA controller... well i dont have much knowledge about linux but i think SDA is SATA drive .. and i was unable to install any distro on it...

cant say in your case.. but silicon systems emailed back to me saying that sil437* .. or something... controller is not fully compatible with RS480 and RS482 series of mobos... (i think you have MSI )

How crappy!!! What do they do sitting in their huge complex? Why is it that ATI ALWAYS HAS TO SUCK THIS WAY!! Well, i'll wait and watch

And fdisk -l will only give the output if you try it as root or with sudo.

The cd can be booted only as root. Well, if Silicon systems has trouble for my motherboard, then how come other distros are installing fine?

 

[mehulved]

Which cd is that, which boots only as root?
