Lucid - 250GB Sata Hard Disk Not Detected By Partitioner

[anim8]

Hi

Is anyone else having a similar issue?

The hard disk is seen in the BIOS.

The partitions on it are accessible via the Places Menu on the Lucid Live CD.

It's just when I try to install, nothing is detected in Step 4 of 8, "Prepare Partitions".

An old 80GB IDE disk, on the other hand is seen by the partitioner.

I am not using RAID and it is not enabled in the BIOS.

Thanks

Yea, same problem here! I remember having a problem with 9.10 but can't remember how I got around it. I am trying to install mythbuntu on a gigabyte p45 intel chipset. I have enabled achi in bios to no avail. Nothing is detected during the install. But does show up in the livecd.

bummer!

I Downloaded Alternate Text Installer ISO and the Partitioner does recognise the drive.

Let's see how the install continues.

Well that fixed it for me! :)

I had the same problem. The Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD Installer Does NOT recognise ANY SATA hard disks - but works fine with PATA drives. I had a 10.10 Live CD so just used that - it recognises SATA and PATA drives without a hitch.

Thanks!
