Hello, I've been trying to install Linux for the past several weeks, with no luck. Now, suddenly, upon running YaST for the 100th time, it no longer finds hard drives 3 & 4. Drives 1 & 2 are still found though.
I've checked my BIOS settings; everything looks OK. So, what could be causing this?

Is this on an installed Linux system? You might be using the wrong tool for the job. Please cut and paste here the contents of the following file: /etc/fstab

Sorry I didn't provide more info; I thought all Linux distros are the same at the installation stage. I guess not.
So..... It's a brand new ASUS A8N32-SLI motherboard with 4-SATA controllers; each has a drive attached. No operating system is installed---hence, I'm performing a clean install.
Originally, my intention was to install openSuSE 10.1 on RAID1 arrays (comprised of disks 1&2). Disks 3&4 were for data. Over several weeks of trying, I restarted the computer and ran YaST about 100-times. Now, it can't find disks 3&4.
Is it possible that it corrupted the MBR? If so, how would I clear it?
