Ubuntu Installation :: Not Detecting Disks 10.10
Apr 9, 2011
I am attempting to install ubuntu 10.10-alternate-i386 that was burned on a cd.
Motherboard: SOYO SY-K7ADA v1.0-2AA1
Main Processor: AMD Athlon 1700+
Primary Master: WDC WD800AAJB-00J3A0 0.103E01
The HDD is brand new and hasn't been formated, partitioned, or previously had any other OS on it. The HDD is recognized in the BIOS.A list of possible drivers are listed in which don't match, except for two, but they don't lead to anywhere beneficial in order to complete the installation process.At this point, I have no idea how I must proceed.

I wanted to use an older computer again, so I tried to fire it up, but alas. I don't recall when the last time was that it was running, but I don't think it didn't run back then. I just had a new computer
[HARDWARE]
- MOBO: ALiveNF6G-DVI
- BIOS: BIOS P1.30
- CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
[code].....
[PROBLEM] What happens is this:
1. The computer starts up. No POST-beeps.
2. CPU is ok.
3. RAM is ok.
4. Disks are auto-detected and listed.
5. Then the computer halts. No message, no warning. I am not even able to hit control+alt+delete (I say this, cuz I noticed this. I am able to run and alter the BIOS in an earlier state of booting up, with the keyboard, obviously). It just completely hangs/locks.
[WHAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR]
1. Removing all hardware but monitor, RAM, keyboard. - Result: comp stops doing stuff after checking RAM, without any message whatsoever.
2. Cleared the CMOS (with the jumper, also by removing the battery). - Result: no changes.
3. There are two pieces of RAM. I removed them all. Result: POST-beeps. I put one back: loaded till after disks. See above. Exchanged the RAM-piece with the other RAM-piece (so: still one piece of RAM): same thing.

I have/had a PC with several hard drives, and a mix of ubuntu and windows on multi boot.The old boot drive died screaming, and I need to start again. (But my data is safe! yay!)
Is there anything special about which drive can be the main drive to start booting from? Or to put it another way, can I install to any of the other 3 and expect it to work, or do I need to switch them around so a different drive is on the connections for the recently dead one?

I have servers which contain SATA disks and SAS disks. I was testing the speed of writing on these servers and I recognized that SAS 10.000 disks much more slowly than the SATA 7200. What do you think about this slowness? What are the reasons of this slowness?
I am giving the below rates (values) which I took from my test (from my comparisons between SAS 10.000 and SATA 7200);
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.txt bs=1024 count=1000000 when this comment was run in SAS disk server, I took this output(10.000 rpm)
(a new server,2 CPU 8 core and 8 gb ram)
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 12.9662 s, 79.0 MB/s (I have not used this server yet) (hw raid1)

Obviously I can't install to it if I can't select it from the drop down menu. Not that it really matters, but this happens with both 64 and 32 bit versions, clean disc, no errors. I've also tried xubuntu 32-bit.
I can install Slackware on it, or for all I know every other OS. I can find it with cfdisk, fdisk, gparted, etc. I can format it in windows and use it as a drive If I try to install ubuntu from windows on it once I boot into ubuntu to finish the install it goes in an infinite loop of something like 'no root filesystem please reconfigure (or something like that), hit ok, repeates the message until I get tired of hitting ok and reboot. Always lists it under places as '500gb filesystem' even if there are no assigned partitions on it. I've rebuilt the partition table with fdisk analyzed it with disktest (drivetest? something test or testsomething) I've considered giving up and using another distro...

I am attempting to Dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. When i boot the Live CD from USB, and then go to the installation, then when i get to the partition part, it does not detect windows at all. It says that i have no operating systems installed. Is anyone else having this problem? Sorry if there is already a thread on this, I could not find one with a search.

I bought the new harddisk so was doing a fresh install of ubuntu (Already installed win7)
But ubuntu setup is not detecting the partitions correctly it is showing 4 partitions but I have 5 (and +1 which is created by win7 of 100mb for system usage)
Setup is showing total 4 partitions and clubing all the partitions together and showing as 785gb and one partition is not detected at all and the other 3 partitions only one is correct 100mb win7 system usage partition.
I have 4 partitions ntfs and 1 partitions exFat, I had created exFat hoping ubuntu setup will detect it as different partition but that is not shown in partitions selection menu.

After putting this off forever, I've finally decided to delete my old XP OS and install Ubuntu on it as a dualboot option along with my existing Windows 7 x64 install. However, I'm having a common issue in that both Gparted and fdisk do not detect the partitions of my main boot disk and shows the entire disk as unallocated. I've read a number of similar threads with some great responses from many of the folks here on this forum. I've put together all the info I could think would be relevant.
1) I ran fdisk -l. Here is the output (This is from booting from the live CD). Sorry for the long logfile. I have a number of disks/partitions attached. The relevant disk of interest is /dev/sdb/
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gdisk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gdisk
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[Code]...
/dev/sdb contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that does not understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos paritions table. Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdb
3) And this is a picture of the disk unders Windows 7 Disk Management. "Disk 3" is my main boot drive with Windows 7 on C:. The unallocated partition before it was where the old XP install was. I want to ideally install Ubuntu on that partition. Also, I should mention that "Disk 0" is a Drive from my old DELL PC that has a windows XP installation on it along with the boot info. I left it in there in case I wanted to swap it back into my old PC. However, it seems to confuse Ubuntu during the install as it detects only that XP installation but cannot read/detect the current Windows 7 install.

Looks like Grub2 on my new installation of Ubuntu 9.10 is not picking up a Windows 7 installation on a RAID0 array (using the built-in RAID software from my Asus P5Q-Deluxe)
Here are the results of the boot info script:
Code:

I am planning on installing Ubuntu on my new laptop with a native resolution of 1920x1080 however the install disc (I booted into the "test") part, sets my resolution to 2048x1536.Keeping it on 2048x1536 cuts off about 50 pixels on the right side of my screen so it must not be right. So I tried changing it from the "Monitors" settings back to 1920x1080 and everything is so large and it is stretched horizontally. Is this just because I'm running the "try me" part, or is there something wrong with Ubuntu and my video card?

I try to install CentOS 5.3 for the first time. The installation of system is completed successfully, but the computer isn't detected the installation of CentOS after rebooting and I have an error Non-System Disk or Disk Error Replace and strike any Key When Ready on starting. Does the hard disk have error and it should replace it? If the hard disk have errors, how the system CentOS could take hold?

I'm trying to make a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my system. I have 9.10 correctly setup on what I see here as devsda2. devsda3 does contain /home. devsda1 is for Vista. They are on a 500Gb hard drive. I also have a second 500Gb hard drive, formerly on a raid 0 with the first one, but now independent (raid deactivated from bios). It is here know as /dev/sdb, and contains other 3 partitions. Raid 0 is not hardware, but is an intel fake raid.
I then have other 4 drives, causing me NO problem.
I start live mode of Ubuntu 10.04 with noraid option. When I try to setup Ubuntu, during the process, where it comes to manually select partitions, the two 500Gb hard drives disappears, such that I'm not able to install Ubuntu on what now is /dev/sda2
If I start live mode of Ubuntu without noraid option, I will see the two 500Gb hd as being part of a raid 0, such that I can't use them.
The other 4 hd normally appear in both cases.

I've been running F10 with a four disk RAID5 setup that has been working fine, however when I tried to do a fresh install of F11 I can't get past the "Select Country" and "Select Keyboard" screen of the GUI as a message will say "Detecting Storage Devices" and then throw up an error. I can't give you the full error, because when I click Save The Detecting Storage Devices box appears and I can not select anything under it or enter my Bugzilla account.However, when I plug just the hard drive that has XP on it then the installer continues swimmingly.I've backed up everything, so if I have to I could zero out the drives however they're all rather large so it'd take an inordinate amount of time.

I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 to my raid 1+0 array. Install just sees four different hd:s

There is not showing any size or anything. I have set two raid arrays: main and storage, both with 4-hard-driver (raid10). Storage array is partitioned to 1TB and 400GB partitions, 400GB partition is where i want to install ubuntu. Main array has windows already. Where to go next?

I have purchased HP Pavilion e9280jp/CT which has two 1.5TB (SATA 7200rpm) hard drives. But during installation Fedora 11 and 12 (beta) did not detect my second hard drive. It only showed one hard drive in the list. I used the Fedora Live CD and still it only showed one hard disk.
Then , I partitions my first hard disk as follows:
[1TB - Windows (Primary) ][ 100Gb - Linux partion ][ Factory recovery Image] and installed Fedora 12 , and now giving me Grub errors. How can I force Fedora installer to detect my second hard disk?

I did a fresh install of 11.04. It didn't let me choose custom mount points for my disks, so I left non-system partitions unmounted in the installer. Big mistake. It seemingly screwed with two of my disks. I can see them in disk utility, but disk utility cannot identify partition information.
@fridge:~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /m2 -t ext4
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Getting very frustrated trying to install F12 to my work PC. Its a dell precision 670 with a 3ware 9550sxu raid controller running raid 5. Its consistently crashing at the point when it says 'finding storage devices' with a message about : Mismatched Sizes. What I could try? I had no problem on this machine with fedora 11, so whats changed? Just for info by the way, theres two raid volumes on this system a 750Gb that contains my windows vista installation in a 500 Gb partition (NTFS) and the free space I'm using for fedora. The second volume is a 2TB data volume with a single data partition (NTFS).

I've installed Windows 7 onto one hard drive, and then installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto a second hard drive. The installations seemed to go fine, and I can boot into Ubuntu from the GRUB menu. However when I try to boot into Windows from the GRUB menu, I get a message saying "error: no such device: 446e94786e946488".

Reformatting two drives before re-installation. I'm new to Linux generally. Can someone give me instructions on formatting the hard drives? I have installed ubuntu on a machine that had been running Windows for a while. Since Windows worked the boot drive for years, I decided to switch the positions of the two drives; putting the old data drive into the boot position.
Apparently, ubunta was too smart for me. I guess it discovered the Windows installation, and decided that's where it should be installed too. Now, what I would like to do - and I would really like to do it this way - is reformat both the disks, wiping out everything that's on both of them; before running another installation.
BTW: the old data drive is still NTFS, and I don't want installations own both disks - reformatting and starting fresh seems nice and clean, if not entirely necessary.

Brand new HP Compaq Presario CQ56, want to dual-boot 7 & Ubuntu. Too many partitions I think:
HD0 - 298.09 GB
System
199 MB NTFS
C:
279.36 GB NTFS
RECOVERY D:
18.43 GB NTFS
HP TOOLS
103 MB FAT32
Want to add Ubuntu + Swap in the 90 or so GB range, fairly new to partitioning. Trying to create recovery disks using system tools is over 16 Gb, for that kind of expense I may as well just order recovery disks OEM if (When) Windows falls apart.

I installed ubuntu 11.04 inside of my Windows 7 using live cd. All was working fine until three hours ago when I started my pc and selected ubuntu, it gave me grub command line. I figured it was because grub couldn't find ubuntu. So, I rebooted from win7 and now all I can see is ubuntu.icon, wubi-uninstallation.exe, ubuntu and another folder. ubuntu/disk is missing.

I just installed Ubuntu server edition to my computer (brand new, no OS) and finished installation. In the terminal I used apt-get ubuntu-desktop to install a desktop interface.In my rig, I have two 500GB HDDs. I set them up through my computer BIOS as RAID1 drives, yet as I understand I still need to configure the Ubuntu software raid for it to work correctly. Unfortunately, I already partitioned my drives! I used the easy way (guided with LVM or whatever) and let it do it for me. Now, RAID1 is very important to me! Is there anyway to repartition the disks to use RAID1, or do I need to wipe my computer and reinstall Ubuntu?

Installing stretch stops at detecting network devices. This is an attempt to install stretch over the top of Windows 10 on a Toshiba Radius 15 with 2 each USB2 ports and 2 each USB3 ports, and no RJ-45. Its wireless is based upon the Intel 7265. Just before the presentation of the wireless list, the system reports the need to install non-free:
iwlwifi-7265D-9
iwlwifi-7265D-10
iwlwifi-7265D-11
iwlwifi-7265D-12
and asks for media. Whether I respond yes or no, the driver selection screen comes up. [I have not been able to find those four specific files on the Internet.The network card screen comes up, I select the Intel recommended firmware iwlsifi, but the page just recreates itself and waits for a new selection. If I select either 'none' or 'not listed', the installation fails saying there is no network card.I have obtained from Intel their suggestion as of Aug 2015: iwlwifi-7265-ucode-25.30.14.0.tgz.I placed this on a USB stick in a subdirectory labeled 'firmware'. This was built from Windows 7 on a FAT32 file system.
There is also a Dynadock docking station that connects to the Toshiba via a USB3 cable. Besides video, USB,and audio, this has an Ethernet port. I have tried this connected to the laptop but it also requires a driver. I have placed that driver on the firmware directory of the USB also.
Are the four files listed above somehow inside the iwlwifi driver tgz?Is there a way to get the docking station drive to load so I can use its Ethernet port?
I have used Rufus to build the stretch USB from Windows. I do have a a Linux box I built with the same USB. I would use it but so far, I only have a command line on it and I have not figured out how to access debian.org to download the installation files nor how to put that on the stick.
