Hi, using the crunchbang derivative and I can not get my SATA drive to be recognized. It is recognized in the bios and xp will boot from it but no luck on the live cd. In terminal if i type 'sudo fdisk - l' the only drive listed is a 10gb ide drive. I have tried switching from SATA to RAID in the bios but either way the drive is not recognized. It has 3 partitions 2 ntfs one ext3.

Any help would be appreciated :)

I am in the same boat, except I haven't tried the RAID thing yet. My motherboard is an XFX 8200 GeForce, and my drives are Seagate Barracudas. What is your hardware? Have you heard anything?

In BIOS, try setting the SATA mode to "AHCI", then boot the Live CD and see whether it is recognized.

Sorry, been following this up in other threads. AHCI, RAID, makes no difference.
