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.
