Ok, so a mate and I are building a mythbuntu box.
Build went fine, everything squeezed into the nice Antec Fusion case, and we nearly lost our s*** when the Antec remote took control of the cursor without any config in the liveCD :)
The problem is however, we can't get the install to see the 640Gb SATA hdd??!! Actually, we can't get it the bios to even see it.
I've not dealt with sata drives before, and we tried every bios combination we could till 2am last night, so we figured we'd sleep on it.
Here's what we know:
- sata DVD rw works on either of the two sata cables, and is detected by bios and boots live cd fine.
- 2nd brand new sata hard drive on either of the two sata cables does not get detected either.
- every combination of Sata> Ahci/Native IDE/Legacy IDE/Raid etc in bios still will not detect in bios
- vista (blarg!) cd does not find hdd during setup either
Any advice to get this happening will be very much appreciated!
