I ended up going crazy backing up my FC5 installation crashing it and even deleting the partition with gparted in puppy OS. After that didn't work I googled the right combo of phrases to get here. Thanks for the info. And also thanks to Walmart and their cheap clearance WD hard drives, Should've bought a Samsung. Same problem with my Western Digital 160 GB drive when installing Fedora 9.

Pulled jumper and it works. I have Evo too and I have a older 40 Maxtor which only shows d50 jumper master/single or off as slave. Pulled jumper and it works.

No disk found. I looked and yes, I had an 80GB WD drive and the jumper was set to Master w/slave. Reset to single and no it looks ok. Thanks. I have spent many hours of searching and rebooting, reconfiguring and attempting to get around this. Must be a flag that gets left in the bios when it can't find the slave drive.
