[NCLUG] New 80GB maxtor won't fdisk...

[John L. Bass]

	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.

Depends ... what does lsmod say?
