[CentOS] Re: Intel SATA controller (cmiiw) not recognized by Centos 5.1 installation?

hey scott...

are you sure about the installation of windows drivers, not affecting the installation of linux. aren't there a number of cases where in order to install hardware on linux, you 1st need the windows drivers?

might it be possible that the article/advice the poster was following was with regards to obtaining drivers for the sata controller/drive to be used under linux??

peace

Installing a driver in XP will not get anything into your bios, and won't help 
you install Linux.
