It's not ' fdisk -l /dev/hda '...

it's:

' fdisk -l ' (L) == To list the drives in the system; then
' fdisk /dev/hda ' == To repartition it.

--Some things in Vm5 are a pain... To change the SCSI adapter, you have to start over with creating a whole new virtual machine.

--Also, when the VM starts to boot, hit F2 and do the following to optimize:

o Enable 32-bit I/O on all the IDE devices (Hit Enter on Primary Master, etc)
o Enable the boot diagnostic screen - this will tell you if the drive is showing up @boot

o Change the boot order (Boot tab); hit Ctrl-Enter to show all devices. I have Floppy 1st, then cdrom, then IDE (or scsi).

--If all else fails, post the results of ' fdisk -l ' and ' dmesg ' in this thread.

BTW, you _are_ doing the fdisk as root, right??

I'm going to try to figure out how to use the BusLogic SCSI adapter instead and see if it works, but am not seeing how to use it instead of the regular adapter...
