Comment (by Luposian):
I ran Active@ KILLDISK to zero the drive and make one 320Gb empty drive.
Haiku sees no usable partitions. I was going to just Init the drive, but
then didn't know if I should use Intel partition map or Be File System.
Also, does it need a partitioned/formatted drive BEFORE initializing the
drive, or is a blank/zero'd drive perfectly ok with it?
The first image is of Haiku not recognizing the drive. The second image
is what Haiku shows after I tried to partition/format the drive in Lubuntu
and then Init the drive as BFS, and install Haiku.
After reboot, all I get is Haiku's boot menu and no visible
drive/partition! The Live CD drive setup program then shows what you
see... weird!
I have since run Active@ KILLDISK again and am starting with a completely
zero'd (unpartitioned?) drive again. Let's see where we get, starting
from scratch again... now, what do I do?
Haiku will say no partitions recognized. Then I go to the disk utility.
What do I do from there? Does the drive have to be partitioned/formatted
(with another OS) FIRST, or will it work fine completely zero'd (zeros
written to the entire drive)?
Do I initialize using "Intel Partition Map..." or "Be File System..."?
I used to be able to do this so easily... now I can't get anything to
work! :-(
