Thread: ubuntu 8.04 64 bit unable to find hard drive

-

i in process of building new machine.

motherboard: evga x58 3x sli
processor: intel core i7-920 2.66ghz 8m lga1366 cpu
video: xfx geforce 9800 gt 512mb pcie
memory: corsair dominator 6144mb pc12800 ddr3

did bios update , went install 8.04.3 desktop 64 bit. have ide dvd drive , 750gig wd sata hard drive. upon running install prepare partitions step , there no drives listed.

have researched other threads , made sure bios set ide , using legacy mode. have drive on channel 0, although not sure matters. in event, drive still not show up. ran

sudo fdisk -l

, nothing shows on either.

desperation installed vista business 64 bit , worked fine.

suggestions on how resolve this? prefer have ubuntu primary os. appreciated.

seems might bios issue.
"use pnp os" set yes causes trouble. change , auto detect drives. save , reboot. see if helps.
might bios not passing info installer.
have heard of motherboards not allowing sata communicate correctly linux such epoch brand boards.
if bios can see it, ubuntu should able see it.

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi

Smoothing Capacitor value?

hi everyone! i have question "smoothing capacitors". have 5v arduino project have 6 individual 5v components attached it. since need these running @ different times, wanted take similar approach of nick gammon's in helpful example (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12106) , use few mosfets switch these little guys on & off individually (instead of regular arduino pins), while minimizing potential power surges affect microcontroller and/or components themselves. these components 5v, , have maximum draw of ~170ma when powered on @ same time. so, if used 6 different mosfet switches turn switch +5v power line on each component directed via arduino uno, wondering: 1. still use 1 capacitor (like nick did in example)? 2. capacitor of 100uf work, or should use bigger? my plan first test circuit mosfets & capacitor(s) using usb, , later on, moving project battery power. thanks in advance ideas & suggestions! quote these little guys what ...
