... configured for UDMA/25...

Hi,

I've got some errors while starting the installation from CD.
It's the same error like http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43523

I tested it with "arch ide-legacy", now it starts the Installation with errors (Cannot read Partitions Table).
If I now want to setup the HDD, it displays that the freespace on it is only 0MB.

On VMWare it works fine. But not on my Desktop .

The HDD on witch Arch will be installed is connected over IDE, a Second HDD is connected over SATA. If I remove the SATA Disk, the errors are still be there.

The Primary-HDD is formated in NTFS by WinVista and crypted (preboot authentication) in AES by Truecrypt. I want to override it with an ext3 FileSystem.
But how if it displays only 0MB.

Sry 4 my EN I'am german xD

I realy like ArchLinux but these Errors... Please help.

MyPC:

IDE: 160GB Samsung -> Primary (Crypted with Truecrypt & PreBootAuth)
SATA: 400GB AES Encrypted HDD (Truecrypt)

CPU: Intel Dualcore 1,8Ghz
RAM: 2GB DDR2
Graphic: ATI Readon X1650 XT 256MB
