So I finally got fed up with my vista install..

I went and popped Linux Mint on another hard drive. Install went great and i've installed some stuff. Compiz looks nice.

One problemo. Every hard drive in my system is a SATA except for the one in which I installed mint on, and I don't see any of those hard drives.

I looked in my fstab. and I see all those hard drives in there. BUT if I goto into 'Computer' I only see the hard drive that mint is installed on!

Any ideas. PS. I am a linux noob somewhat. so go easy on me :)

Hard drives are part of the file system. Perhaps you could post your partition info by typing in the console (command line) as root "fdisk -l" to list everything.
This will help us help you.

Mine looks like.....

Did you have to fiddle with drivers or did all your hardware work right away?
