Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a 80GB Maxtor. The BIOS recognizes the drive, and on
bootup Linux says it recognizes the drive on hdc, which is correct. But when
I go to fdisk the drive I get the message "Unable to open /dev/hdc". I
checked /var/log/messages, and it is reporting :

    modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ide-disk
    kernel: hdc: Driver not present

of coarse it has to be, or my existing ide drives wouldn't work, right?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Michael C.
