Thank you for the recommendations. I'll look into Fedora and CentOS. I'm going to be partitioning the hard drive between LINUX and Windows XP. Need to put LINUX on first and partition the drive. I'm using LINUX for doing development in C/C++.

It's probable that Red Hat Linux 9 does not have a driver for a SATA host controller. So it's not really a driver for the drive but for the host. I recommend Ubuntu or it's flavors like Kubuntu for general computing. If you like Red Hat, go with Fedora or CentOS. SUSE is also good for general use. What do you want to do with your new computer?
