[plug] Cool toy!

GDay Simon
The norhtec LT02 (bare bones) arrived, pronto. Now i have another 
problem: it boots from a USB stick but, when i try to install mint-8, 
the only partition recognised is the USB stick. It appears i need to 
write something to the HDD so it can be recognised before i can install 
to the HDD; got some clues for me?
