fdisk/cfdisk are unable to detect my HDD's

Nanoy

I want to Install Gentoo on my AMD64 +3400, however, it can't see to locate my HDD's.

I did #fdisk hda, however, it just prints "Unable to open hda", same with hdb, I then tried #cfdisk, and it gave me "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive". I'm using the amd64 2004.2 Minimal livecd

I know they're there, however its the first time I try to install Linux on this machine, so I can't really say if this is a problem with Gentoo.

The hardware is a ASUS K8V Deluxe mobo, with 2 Seagate Barracuda Serial ATA-150 (120 gig) Harddisks.

Could they be called something else?

Thanks.

The solution there is to modprobe ide-disk.
