none of ubuntu installer detects the HDD

Post by pierrej »

any of the ubuntu installer is able to detect the HDD Hitachi

however ubuntu 9.10 on the SSD can mount the HDD Hitachi

and BIOS as well can boot from the HDD Hitachi

Can anybody tell where the "switch" is ?

Thanks indeed,

Pierre

Can you please try to load setup defaults from BIOS?
Have you tried to install Windows?

Hi,

Has this been fixed?
because i've the same problem here with my FitPC2. Tried many linux distributions but none see my HDD, hitachi travelstar 60GB sata 7200RPM.

If I boot Windows 7 then the disk is visible and usable.

Distributions i've tried:
Ubuntu 9.10, 10.4, 11.x
Debian 6
Linux Mint 12

Reset the bios to default didn't help. Tried changing many bios settings none work.

I had the same problem when I bought a new HDD, but solved by changing the BIOS setting. After I changed the OS setting, not exactly sure what it was called, from "DOS" to "OTHER," the installation went OK.
