=46rom the tone of this and your follow-up emails, yea, I'd say you are p=
eeved.

If you would provide more detail on what happened when you first put the =
drive=20
in, what error messages, if any, did you get, what settings are you chang=
ing=20
and re-changing, etc., someone may be abled to begin helping you resolve =
the=20
issue.  The information above is too undefined to start down the road to=20
helping.

A simple test would be to boot from a Knoppix disc.  It is famous for fin=
ding=20
and automatically configuring all kinds of hardware.  If it works there y=
ou=20
can either go to Debian, on which Knoppix is based, or that can be proof =
that=20
"a Linux" can make it work so Red Hat should be possible to work too.

Drop the vitriol and give us info, then we can help.
