It doesn't make sense because Gparted sees it at the same time but the installer doesn't. That's just wierd. I ended up installing Elive on the second hard drive but I don't GRUB.

Hello, Just curious, do you have another computer to connect that HD too, and do you have the same problems?
Does Vista see that 2nd HD? Maybe that HD is defective in some way...I had some similiar problems in the past and I reformatted the ext drive from a MAC computer and Linux could see and use that HD then. Maybe the USB is the problem, the connectors are loose, or cable is bad, just trying to give suggestions, just don't assume everything is working, all the time. I have had cables that have had a broken wire in it somewhere, it would work one time but then the next time I couldn't use my printer. I tried a different cable and the printer worked every time from then on.
