Thanks for the reply! Looking at the specs the hd is sata. Also the documents for rhel are they the same for centos? I'm looking for items to help me learn/gain knowledge.

Hello
I'm new to linux and am trying to install centos 5.3 on my laptop and it has an ata drive but centos does not see the had or cdrom. Googleing does not give me much to check. The laptop is a hp-g60 249wm, latest bios update. The bios does not have any ability to change drive information. The bios basically allows me to only set time, date and boot item. Any advice or direction is appreciated!
Is the drive IDE (PATA) or SATA? If SATA, you will need a proper SATA driver. As a *guess* (which worked for the SATA controller on my desktop motherboard), try adding the 'irqpoll' kernel parameter:
Boot: linux irqpoll

Should be binary equivalent with RHEL, so the upstream documentation for RHEL should be fine. There may be some differences in the updating procedures, but other than that, I think it should be the same. If I'm wrong, someone more knowledgeable, hopefully will jump in and correct me.
Suggest you download the Live CD and burn that and test it on your laptop to see if it is going to work OK on your HW. It can be problematic on a laptop, especially if it is very new.

Yes, the docs for RHEL also apply to CentOS. CentOS is binary compatible with RHEL.
