I downloaded fedora 7 vmware image from thoughtpolice long time ago.It has been working great. it is able to detect any of my usb devices.I just downloaded fedora 11 image from the same site. However, it cannot detect any usb device at all. I am trying to figure out if there is any driver/firmware I need to install (via yum?).

I would like to periodically test this Windows Server 2003 installation for viruses. Obvious solution would be to install an AV software under this Windows Server 2003 installation. However, I was wondering, is this possible to use NOD32 for Linux or clamav in order to test this Windows Server 2003 installation for viruses? Is NOD32 for Linux able to detect viruses inside the .vmdk file?

I again checked, now there is a /dev/hda but my hda should contain two ext3 partitions.But the problem is the kernel doesn't recognize them.I got debian in my Had disk too.The problem is debian can recognize these two partitions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed 9.04 on both two computers -- on an old PIII 667 box and on a dual core Intel (Dell).
DVDs play on the old PIII (jerky to be sure, but it's an old box with only 512 MB memory).
But the dual-core Intel does not even recognize that there is a DVD in the drive, so nothing happens after the disk is inserted and the drive activity light stops flashing. Nothing.
When we look in "Places" to see what drives appear on the Dell the hard drive icon shows up as does the optical drive icon. But clicking on that optical drive icon brings up a message that there is no media in the drive.
On the other hand, on the old PIII the DVD shows up in "Places" along side the hard drive and optical drive icons. Clicking on the DVD icon launches Movie Player (Totem) and the DVD plays.
I don't even know where to begin trouble-shooting this one so that the dual-core Dell will recognize that there is a disk in the drive and then play DVDs.
We do have libdvdcss2 on both computers.
One other item worth noting... Previously the Dell had SuSE Linux 11.1, and it did play DVDs without problem.
Is there an output file from the non-responding computer I can post to this list that would help identify what's preventing a DVD from being seen?
I am attempting to install 10.10 over my 9.10 installation, but the installer says I don't have the required 2.6GB of free drive space. This problem only occurs with my 120GB SATA drive. If I plug in my old 80GB ATA drive (in a USB enclosure), there's no problem and I'm able to get past the installer's 3-point checklist.This is the first time I've encountered a problem like this and it seems as if no one else has encountered it yet. I can therefore not find this topic on any Linux forum, so I'm quite out in the cold.

2 GB Mushkin Memory DDR 400
Samsung 80GB Model: HD080HJ/P Hard Drive
Things I've tried:
I tried a different hard drive Western Digital Model:WD1600bevs - That Works Fine.
I tried Different Versions of Ubuntu 9.10X86 9.10X64 9.04X86 - None Detect Hard Drive.
I Tried Jumping the Samsung Drive from 3.0 Sata 2 to 1.5 - No difference
I tried th Samsung drive in an External USB 2.0 Encloser - Drive Works Fine.
I also tried installing Windows XP on the Samsung drive, Windows Detects the drive.
I deleted all partitions with acronis and repartitioned for Linux ext3 Filesystem.
At this point I determined that the drive works fine, The bios detects it no problem. Windows detects it no problem. My ubuntu CD's all pas integrity checks and will see a Western Digital Hard Drive No Problem. In my opinion it is like Ubuntu just doesn't support that perticular drive for some reason. Maybe Firmware?
I added new hard drive on a machine running linux redhat linux 5 and I need to define and format this drive to be usable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a Western Digital 500GB SATA drive, installed Vista on it no problems and made sure to leave about 120gb of unallocated space when setting up the drive. Went to install F12 via the live CD and it says no drive was detected. If I take the live CD out then it boots into Vista no problems so the drive is definitely connected OK.
I was using the 64-bit version of the live CD so I downloaded the 32-bit version but I have the same problem! The motherboard is an Asus P5QPL-AM if that makes a difference.
I am installing Fedora 15 for the first time - Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso. I used LiveUSBCreator to copy to a memory stick.
I boot OK and start the install process and choose "Basic Devices" but it does not appear to detect my only hard drive (SSD). All it detects is the USB memory stick that I booted from.
I have Windows 7 on my disk. There is about 50GB free space which I planned to use for Fedora.
In Ubuntu 10.04 all I had to do was turn on my external hard drive and it would automatically be detected and mounted. I just switched over to Ultimate Edition, which I think is Ubuntu 10.04 with a lot of stuff added on to it. The funny thing is when I turn on the external hard drive it doesn't get mounted, and I don't think it's even being detected. I looked in gparted and it doesn't show up there. If I boot into Ubuntu 10.04 and turn on the hard drive it still gets detected and mounted, so there's nothing wrong with it. Ultimate Edition can detect other things connected to USB, like my iPod, so I'm wondering why it can't detect my hard drive.
Edit: When I do tail -f /var/log/messages and if the drive gets detected, this is what it says:

Someone explain this to me. I often thought in the back of my head, how do I check if my drive is bad in Linux? I always excused it thinking well I guess besides gaming that's another reason to keep a windows partition around. I boot up yesterday and Gnome was acting weird. Then, it happened. "We have detected bad sectors in your hard drive." I thought, no, you're stupid, this hard drive is less than a year old (however it was a replacement for another one that died). So I reboot.
Boot back up - Different error message. But instead of getting it a few minutes after log in, I got it right away. "We have detected potential hard drive failure." Okay, Linux. Want to play this game? Booted to Vista, downloaded Seatools to test my Seagate drive. It failed... Swapped SATA cables... it failed... So I ask - how does Linux have this auto detect capability like that? As much as I love Ubuntu, I was like there's no way it could just magically tell like that without running the Seagate program. But alas, Ubuntu was dead on target.
I'm using the Ubuntu 9.10 alternate install CD in an external PATA USB CD drive to try to install Ubuntu on a ThinkPad X60. The installer boots but then very quickly gets to a stage where it complains that, "No Common CD-ROM drive was detected". It asks you to point out the drive or load or select drivers, but there aren't any drives or drivers to choose. I brought up another console, and looked in /dev, but there isn't anything there that resembles a CD drive.
I tried
$ modprobe ide-scsi
But it can't find the module.
I followed the instructions here, found the drivers on a working system, and put them on a thumbdrive. However, when I mount it:
$ mkdir /tmp/drive
$ mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/drive
Mount fails due to an "invalid argument," with two different USB drives that work just fine on other systems. When even mount doesn't work, I feel like I've got both hands tied behind my back. How I can correctly implement the above command-line fixes? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've installed different Ubuntus probably a dozen times over the years, and haven't gotten stuck this badly since somewhere around version 4. Whether this problem is specifically related to the fact that my external USB CD drive has a PATA interface. If I go out and buy or borrow a SATA USB CD drive, is this problem likely to go away?
my last hard drive had bad sectors so we got a new hard drive from newegg. this is a brand. new. hard drive. never been formatted before. so i started with the windows setup disc to get it to partition the drive and give kubuntu (working off 10.04 its ordered from canonical) something to work off. it still didn't work. so i got gparted on here to see if it could - im running off the live cd - do anything with it and i find that kubuntu doesn't even recognize there is a hard drive there. i got into the terminal to check the sudo lshw -C disk thing and it swears 'C' is my cd drive.
My bios is also as high as it can go, they stopped making my board. so. any ideas? i cannot install windows as i have lost the key so getting this installed and fixed has to be done through ubuntu on a live cd.
When I try to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop, the partitions menu that appears during the installation doesn't detect my sata hard drive. I have Windows 7 on a partition, left a space unpartitioned, then tried to install it. Coudn't detect the disk, so I booted to live ubuntu, and created a ext3 partiton with Gparted, it still doesn't detect. Also tried completly formating the disc. Still Doesn't detect. The strange thing is that in the ubuntu desktop when i boot with Live usb, the disk is there. I was also able to create the partition as i described before.

Although I love LXDE, there is a problem, when I plug in my flash drive it wont recognize its there. (The XFCE desktop did) I have tried rebooting and all 2 of the usb slots, lol (1.1), and it wont recognize them.
I have tried formatting them in FAT and FAT32, is there a certain format that it needs? Is this a common problem?
Oh, and my mouse is USB and it works just fine.
Not sure whether is feasible or not...

I recently got the Ubuntu 9.10 cd desktop-i386 (i ordered it from canonical) and i tried to install it , but when i came to step 4 (to partition the HDD) it doesn't recognize my hard drive (3 partitions : 15 gb ext4, 37gb ntfs , 25 gb ntfs).I run Windos XP on 37 gb partition withot problems. I reserved that ext4 for karmic. Also i booted up the live cd to try smth in the terminal...i tried with sudo apt-get -y remove dmraid but still doesn't work.Also when i looked into Places menu the HDD partitions were not there.Also i don't know why but if i dont select ACPI=OFF, ofter booting up desktop freezes after 10 sec...when i select ACPI=OFF it runs great. And when i select ACPI=OFF and NOLAPIC from the F6 boot menu , ubuntu detects my hard drive in places menu and installation menu,but after 15-20 sec the screen freezes and i must restart .I dont think it's the cd because when i tested the live cd at my friends computer it detects their HDD, even without NOLAPIC ! I don't know what to do and i really need Ubunt. Do i need to upgrade my BIOS or what ?

Debian 8 installer does not detect the hard drive during installation
I've recently tried to installed Debian 8. The problem is that the partition menu gives me these 3 options:
1. Configure iSCSI volumes
2. Undo changes to partitions
3. Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
There are no options for defining partitions or any hard drive during installation. After searching the internet i found that the problem because the solid state disk SSD cache. How I install a Debian 8 with computer which has a hard disk drive and a solid state disk cache.
