Hello everyone, i'm new here I've found DSL few hours ago and it looks nice for me, so i decided to leave my slow windows and change to dsl. and then the problem appears :/ i cannot install dsl on my hdd ( i prepare partitions [ext3+swap] as i did before when installing other linux distributions but now dsl cannot see these partitions; and when i try to use cfdisk when writing it hangs) the hdd is seagate 20gb and the hd controller is sis 620. i found on the forum that i should use 'dsl dma' but it doesnt work :/ please help me
i'm sorry for my english but i'm not a native There are two hard disk install methods: Full and Frugal. Frugal is the recommended method: Frugal Howto

Use the boot option: dsl 2 This boot DSL in console mode (without desktop) fixing generally that problem.
