Upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04...using the CD Drive. Today I find out that the CD/DVD Drive is not recognized.output from lspci:
0:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset Host Bridge (MCH) (rev 04)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04)

output from dmesg|grep CD:

it was operational before I upgraded, but haven't used it since 10.04 was released, so I can't say exactly when it stopped working.

I've always used a Seagate external drive (USB) for backup of data.
Now, for whatever reason, the drive isn't recognized/found/seen/appear.
For that matter- none of the USB stick memories I connect are recognized either on any of the USB ports I hook them into.
All of the USB stuff works perfectly in Windows.

I've built a new computer and successfully installed XP on it. I've tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit edition from a pen drive and CD. I can boot into the pendrivend use it however when I try to install it doesn't recognize the harddrive.At the moment there are no jumpers on the harddrive although I've tried them in several positions to no avail. I've also tried plugging the harddrive in several of the SATA ports on the motherboardeven tried unplugging the DVD drive altogether.. no joy. I also went into the Bios and changed the mode to AHCI (it was set to IDE)My motherboard is a Asus P6X58D-E with an i7processor and 2Gb ram.The harddrive is a 500Gb WD5000AAKS

I have Ubuntu 10.10 running on a HP Proliant DL380. The Server has 1 SCSI disk install which runs the Ubuntu OS. I recently added a new SCSI drive to the system (hot swap)
Run fdisk -ls
But it does not show the device.
I've also run
Code:
sudo rescan-scsi-bus.sh -w -l
which returned
Code:
0 new device(s) found.
0 device(s) removed.
I've have 4 other scsi bays which have the same result. I need to be able to see the drive before I can even mount/format.

So i then tried to plug it into the computer any way i could finally i tired another external case and now it is found (sorta).I open my /media folder and there it is a drive labeled Movies it had an x and it said i couldn't open it no permissions so i added permissions. now i open it and it says no files but only 160 gb space remaining on a 1 tb drive. so when i run fdisk -l i get this:

I did an upgrade on the weekend from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 (karmic to lucid). Now, when I restart my computer, it goes through the regular load screen showing my P5K Asus motherboard, just like before but instead of showing the Ubuntu load screen, it tries to start grub ("Grub loading stage 1.5") but fails and then says "No any drive found" and the screen goes black. I've tried changing the drive configuration in the BIOS to AHCI or RAID and that didn't work. I've tried disabling JMICRON but to no avail. I'm running out of options here.

I am not well versed in using Ubuntu. I was using Win XP Pro SP3 on my old machine. I decided to make the move to Ubuntu. No problem since all files on the primary drive of the old machine were just OS related. I kept all of the important stuff (music, documents, reg codes, etc.) The computer had no problem importing the songs on the external drive to the music library. I am playing songs and loving it. Now the problem... when I am starting with ubuntu I don't find the drive and I can't mount it.
I get a box stating:
You are not privileged to mount this volume
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:

The brand new MEMOREX 24X Lightscribe DVD player(SATA) is not detected by my UBUNTU 10.10 install (via USB stick LiveCD install). I know it should have worked out-of-the box, but it does not, dmesg or lshw command shows all other SATA connections ( 2 hard drives) , BUT the DVD Drive. The DVD drive is detected by the MSI BIOS, it is also fully functional in the dual-booted Windos 7 installation next to the Ubuntu 10.10, so I know the DVD player is ok. I have the latest B3 Stepping MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard with Intel i7 2600K cpu.

I have managed to get a system going where I have kubuntu installed on a partition of my external hard drive. When the ehd is plugged in, everything works well. I have the option to boot into vista (my main os) or kubuntu. However, I see no reason why it won't let me have some kind of fallback mechanism that would let me boot into vista if the ehd is not found, instead I end up with the grub rescue prompt.
If not then I'm going to have to look at other options, perhaps booting into vista by default unless I hold down escape or whatever other key my bios expects to override, because there will be times that my ehd won't be plugged in. This is the only little niggle, as apart from that everything is working great.

I have an old Dell Dimension 2400, currently running winXP. It has a second hard drive attached onto which I'd like to install ubuntu. The drive is visible in My Computer, but when I began the install process, ubuntu didn't give me any option to install on the second drive; it doesn't seem to see it's there. I went into the Setup menu and the drive isn't found there. Does anyone know what I need to do to configure things so that I can get ubuntu onto the second HD?

I tried to burn a cd today and k3b told me it couldn't find an optical device. It suggested making sure HAL was running, it is. Nothing has changed except auto upgrades, so I tried an apt-get upgrade to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. Burning has never been an issue before, and googling all day hasn't provided any answers, apart from finding /etc/init.d/hal The permissions haven't been changed.

I seem to be having a problem with burning CDs. Whenever I launch k3b, it says 'No optical drive found.' However, When I insert a CD while in KDE, it properly mounts it. What do I do? It seems like udev/hal is working fine. Also, I can't get KDE to recognize any inserted flash drive or external usb storage device inserted on demand.

I recently purchased a Rocketfish 4-port powered USB Hub for my laptop. It works fine for my mouse, keyboard, and printer, but my Toshiba external hard drive doesn't seem to work. The output of lsusb is

Interestingly the drive shows up as /dev/sdb, but there is no corresponding /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2 for the two partitions on it.
The drive works fine if I plug it directly into my laptop.

I'm trying to install Fedora 12 on my EeePC 901 from a 8GB USB stick. However I get the error each time after clicking Next on the boot loader setup screen. Code: Missing ISO 9660 Image The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive. Please copy this image to the drive and click Retry. Click Exit to abort the installation. I tried this with the DVD as well as the net install image. I tried setting up the USB stick with unetbootin and semi-manually [1]. I still get the same error.
I've set up the first 4GB SSD (sda1) as / ext4 partition and the second 16GB SSD (sdb1) as an encrypted /home partition. sdc1 is the USB stick and sdd1 is a 16GB SD card in the card reader. They are not used in the installation. I realize, that the 4GB / partition will probably be too small etc, but I'm just trying to get the installer to go the package selection page.

I downloaded and burned the Fedora-13-x86_64-dvd iso to install on my shiny new box (MSI NF980-G65 MB, AMD Phenom II x4 945 CPU, 8GB Corsair DDR3 memory, generic ATAPI DVD drive, 2 500GB SATA drives, 2 1.5TB SATA drives). I boot from the DVD and and take the default install/upgrade option on the menu. I've tried with the default boot options and with about a dozen different options, all give the the same thing.
Looking console 3, shows the following:
ERROR loader: removing ddmode.conf failed
ERROR loader: got to setupCdrom without a CD device
It can't find the CD/DVD drive that it booted from. The install on console 1 is prompting for a driver to load. Do I need to download a driver for a generic ATAPI/IDE CD/DVD drive?

I have installed RAID 1 with mdadm and it seems to work looking att /proc/mdstat..I wanted to test the system, so I removed the power cable for one of the disks. When I startup I get this message:
Primary hard drive 0 not found...And cannot start. I'm not sure if there is something in BIOS or in the RAID config? Any ideas?

I am getting ready to go to FC14. Yesterday I downloaded both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions -dvd iso. When I tried to burn the images with K3B I got the message 'No Optical drvice found'. Shut off my PC and rebooted this morning. The first thing I did was I tried to burn the 32 bit version with K3B. It worked. Went off and installed it - no problem. I came back to burn the 64 bit version. K3B says "No optical drive found'. K3b (and/or Fedora) lost connection with my optical drives - a DVD-Writer and DVD reader. I have put cds into the drives and tried to open the cds with File Browser with no luck.
Some pertinent data:
[root@Vince vince]# cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Mon Aug 17 15:12:43 2009
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or vol_id(8) for more info
[Code].....
I looked in messages and found no references after the successful burning of the 32 bit dvd. Nothing to indicate why Fedora lost contact with the dvd writer. What else is needed to fix this? I think that if I reboot, I will have access to both drives again. If that happens, I will burn the 64 bit iso and look into updating my system.

I have installed three flavors of linux on vmware
1.rhel5
2.centos 5.5
3.fedora 14
and also install centos 5.5 on a separate hard disk (not on vwware).
I want to mount my pen drive on linux which is ntfs. I have tried a lot on rhel5 only. Please tell whether it is possible mount ntfs on any distributions I have mentioned above? I have already installed fuse, fuse-devel, fuse libs, ntfs-3g, ntfs-3g libs on rhel5. But I still got error:
"fatal : module fuse not found"
"ntfs unknown file system"

I recently decided to install Ubuntu on a couple of computers without CD drives (netbooks), so I followed these instructions to create a bootable flash drive: http:[url].....That worked fine for both netbooks. Now I'm trying to use the same flash drive on a desktop currently running Windows Vista, but get his message when I try to boot from the flash drive:
No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!I tried to boot one of the netbooks from the flash drive again and that still works.I'm thinking a BIOS setting.

Im trying to install CACTI EZ on a HP Proliant Blade 460c G6. But im having problem with detecting the hard disk. CACTI EZ installation has the drivers for this and loads the driver itself. But when it now detects for the drive, it has the error "Drive not Found".Do you have bootable CD (iso image) that can load the drivers for Cent OS 5 for HP Proliant Blade 460c G6 server.

I have WD external hdd (80GB) formatted with fat32. I was using this hdd to transfer the data from computer A (LINUX, RH9) to computer B (Win7).
I was keep copying and deleting the data in the WD hdd during the data transfer because the amount to transfer is more than 300GB.
After doing this several times (and the WD drive was emptied), comp. A said the disk is full. I checked using 'df' and it was really full but 'ls -la' shows that there is no data in it.
I checked it in comp. B, and it showed empty. I tried to format in comp. A using 'mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/xxx# (block#)', but showed an error message like below.
'Warning: block count mismatch: found 78xxxxx but assuming 0'.
I found a similar situation in this forum metioning 'possible damaged linux kernel (not exactly same expression though)', so I re-installed linux in comp. A, but the problem was not solved.
1. why the disk info. is showed differently in linux and win7
2. why I cannot format it

My computer set up is this; Pentium 4 Dell Dimension desktop with 2 hard drives. /hda = Linux and /hdb = Windows 7. It is set up to boot to /hda (master) and the Grub menu selection includes an entry to boot /hdb (slave) (Windows). Both disks are ATA. I just bought a 250 GB SATA drive and I cloned my Linux partitions onto this new disk. So far, it seems to be working and all my files are here.
The first problem is when I boot up I get a "Primary disk not found" message and the option to hit F1 to continue or F2 to go to setup. I hit F1 and it continues booting up without any further issues. The bigger problem is when I re-attach the Windows ATA drive; Depending on whether it is Master or not I run into one of two situations(when Master)The machine takes a loooooooong time to boot up, still comes to where I have to hit F1, yet I can boot into Windows or Linux. (when not Master)It comes up fairly quickly, I hit F1 but Windows cannot be found.
When Windows doesn't work and I still boot up, I can't find the other hard drive anywhere. #sudo fdisk -l only comes up with the SATA drive, not the Windows one. So there are 3 things I want that I am not sure how to get;Automatically boot to Grub without having to hit F1 Faster bootup through the bios Being able to boot to Windows or Linux without any problems. Am I missing something? Is this because of a mixed ATA and SATA? Is there something I need to fix in the BIOS? I'm not sure where to look!

I dont know when k3b stopped working but have just gone to burn a disk and when opening it tells me
Quote: No optical drive found. K3b did not find any optical device in your system. Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding devices.
I can boot from cd and can mount cds from within Slackware but for some reason k3b insists that i don't have a drive.
