Okay I tried a different approach this time. I burned a new distro to my flash drive and booted to it using Chameleon and it boots fine, but once I go to load the distro on my hard drive my internal drive is not present? The system does not see my internal hard drive at all. If I boot from my old distro from DVD it does see the drive, but not booting from a flash drive??
Now I am getting a bit flustered..lol

Any ideas as to why this is happening?
