I have seen similar threads, but none to this point have provided the right clue.
The GUI installer on 12.04 live disk does not 'see' the HDD. If I mount a usb HDD or thumbdrive, it 'sees' only that, but I'm not interested in installing on removable media.
The crowning oddity is that 12.04-server text installer 'saw' the drive! I left the computer for a few hours before installing, and upon returning, I couldn't repeat the success.
For simplicity, I haven't interest in dual-booting the resident Windows 7, but I need some sort of clue how to proceed. Is there any report I can generate to illustrate the situation? I've got to repeat, the live disk does no installation whatsoever, as no partitions are discovered to mount.
