 HDD not listed in "Computer" Hello,
My HDD is listed in the "System Utilities", But not under "Computer" in the Ubuntu 10.04.
I got a message which reads that I'm running out of storage space (of the usable 4GB of the computers own HD). Apparently the HDD is neither recognised nor used.
What can I do to get the HDD to be recognised and used?
Many thanks in advance!

Re: HDD not listed in "Computer" Is this a fitpc2i from the pilot batch with 4gb flash storage? If so, there is a thread in the ubuntu 10.04 board discussion this issue. It's solved by using a different kernel. If it's a complete new HDD, you most likely have to create a new partition on it.

Re: HDD not listed in "Computer" fly wrote: Is this a fitpc2i from the pilot batch with 4gb flash storage? What I described as "HD" is listed in the "Systems Utilities" as "4GB NANDrive-(PM)". It was programmed as "Master" by default. fly wrote: If it's a complete new HDD, you most likely have to create a new partition on it. What I described as "HDD" is a new WD "Scorpio Blue" Sata-HDD, which I programmed during the installation of the OS to be erased completely and to use the whole storage space. This one was programmed as "Slave" by default.

Re: HDD not listed in "Computer" Again., this looks like a fitpc2i from the pilot batch of the series. The solution is described at [1]. [1] viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1651

This thread appears to be just about the server version of Ubuntu 10.04. But I have the desktop version installed. I also did what is recommended at viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1819.

Re: HDD not listed in "Computer" The kernel changes found in the thread regarding the server version should apply tot he desktop version, too. However, I don't own the hardware to test it.

Re: HDD not listed in "Computer" Sorry, I just remembered that I probably was wrong about the installation.
It is likely that during the installation also just the 4GB HD showed up, and that it was this one that I programmed to be erased and used in its entirety.
I'm beginning to wonder whether the WD HDD is defective. But then could it be that it is recognised (listed in the "Boot" section) in the System Utilities?

Again... this is exactly the problem in discussed in the thread mentioned before: Quote: I won't work with a batch file as the hard drive won't be detected at boot with the default vanilla on the iso. Quote: I'm beginning to wonder whether the WD HDD is defective. But then could it be that it is recognised (listed in the "Boot" section) in the System Utilities? This might be the case, and yes, most possible HDD errors still allow the drive to be listed..

Obviously I should not use Ubuntu 10.04 with this PC, as I'm far from being an IT expert, I have no clue what "batch file" and "default vanilla on the iso" and most of the other terms mean. I tried the following without success: "apt-get update apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-25-fitpc2i Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.32-25-fitpc2i"
