    Hi guys,

    I created two partitions and formated one of then (sda3) as NTFS and the other one (sda4) as ext4 (where I intend to install Fedora 13). When I tried to instal W7 ultimate in the sda3 partition no driver for SATA HD was found. I dowloaded the Intel 5 Series 4 Port SATA AHCI Controller Driver from sony support, extracted .inf files from the executable and select that when required during the installation. For some reason that seems to be incompatible. That's strange, since I had already instalalled this edition of W7 without problem. Do you have any tip on how I could solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

    ps: I let the Recovery partition intact but nothing happen when I hit F10.
