Hello I just finished building my computer and I've been trying to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 onto it. when I put in the live cd I can boot into it just fine but when I go to install it I get hung up on part 4 of 7 where it asks to set up partitions. when Gparted loads it cannot find my Hard drive.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 8800
Motherboard: Biostar T43
HD: Western Digital 400Gb S-ATA
I'm getting the feeling after reading some forums that it may have to do with the fact that my HD is S-ATA? would this be a correct assumption? I've tried multiple methods during boot such as 'pci=nommconf irqpoll' and 'acpi=force irqpoll' 'pci=nomsi'
I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm very new to all this any help would be appreciated
