Help install TC - doesn't find the hard disk

(1/4) > >>

Hi, I'm quite new with Tiny Core - and a newbie in linux.
I'm trying to use it / install it in a netbook (dual boot with the already installed Win XP) without success and would appreciate some help.
The first and main problem I have is that TC doesn't find (and therefore cannot mount, partition, etc) the harddisk when I boot TC from the live CD or from a pendrive.
The harddisk has 4 primary partitions : one hidden (the recovery partition of the notebook), 2 NTFS (Windows XP and DATA) and the fourth one is FAT32. The hd doesn't appear even after installing ntfs-3g: it doesn't show under /dev , nor with fdisk -l, or with the "mount tool" of cpanel.
The CD drive appears (and mounts correctly) as /dev/sr0 and the pendrive as /dev/sdb1

Try V2.10rc1.
V2.9 has problems with some internal sd card readers using mmcblk devices.

What's the device, and ide/sata chipset? What kind of disk?

Anything in dmesg?

The netbook is an Acer Aspire One, AO751H with an Intel Atom processor Z520 - hard disk is ide - 160 Gb.

What / where / how is dmesg ?
