Ubuntu Installation :: Not Recognizing Video Card And Sata Hard Drive On 9.10?

Feb 21, 2010

I have been trying to install Ubuntu on my main computer for some time. I think I have two problems: my hard drive and video card. I started with Ubuntu 9.04 but got nowhere. I am now trying Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit. I can at least use the live cd if I put the video on safe mode. Just in case you are wondering, I have tried other distros: Fedora, OpenSUSE, Slitaz, Wolvix, etc. Only Slitaz and Ubuntu 9.10 works on a live cd.

Information on my computer:
OS: Trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 32bit
Motherboard: ASUS M3A78
CPU: AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core

Video Card: Galaxy Geforce 9500 GT 1GB 128 bit DDR2 (Nvidia) Hard Drive: Hitachi 1 TB Sata Drive 3 Gb/sec 7200 RPM Ram: 4 GB (I think, its been awhile since I built this thing) DVD Burner: LG I think I have two problems: the Sata Hard Drive and the Video Card. When I go to install it, I can get to the install menu but from there all I get is a blank screen. I have tried to put the video in safe mode then install it but I get the same result: a blank screen.

How do I know if Ubuntu recognize the Hard Drive and Video Card? I tried the mount command to see what it sees but I didn't notice any Sata Drives. I was told that I may have to do something with the kernel so it will recognize my Hard Drive. How would I do that?

I have been working on this for awhile now. On a side note, does it matter which Sata Plug the hard drive is on? Right now I have it on the 1st one but I would like to move it to the second one because I want a dual boot system. And yes I know I can use the same hard drive but I would like to keep them separated and use a switch to pick which OS system to use.

While running on the Live Cd, Ubuntu seems to know about my video card and ask to install some drivers but then it asked to be rebooted and it came back up not recognizing anything; video card and hard drive that is. On the live cd I ran the following commands: lswh, lspci, mount, and df. I am not too sure if they will show if the hard drive and the video card are working since I did them on the Live CD. Also on the lspci command, I did this after Ubuntu loaded the driver for the card.

Debian Installation :: Dual Boot UEFI - Grub Not Recognizing Drive

Mar 24, 2015

I've set up a dual boot system with Debian and Windows 8, both installed on their own drive, with their own boot partition. I installed eveything in UEFI-Mode with fast- and secure boot turned off. Both installations are working, as I can access them by changing the boot priority in the Bios. What I cannot achieve is to let grub boot my windows installation.

This is the output of parted -l:

Code: Select allModel: ATA Samsung SSD 840 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 128GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End    Size    File system     Name  Flags
 1      1049kB  512MB  511MB   fat32                 boot
 2      512MB   111GB  111GB   ext4
 3      111GB   128GB  17,0GB  linux-swap(v1)

[Code] .... 

As you can see, my linux install is on sda, my windows install on sdc (sdb beeing a data disk). This is the entry I made in the 40_custom file in etc/grub.d:

Code: Select allmenuentry "Windows 8.1" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod chain
set root='(hd2,gpt2)'
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
boot
}

I think this should be fine, but if I choose the windows entry wehen grub is booting, it says: error: no such partition. It's my first debian installation, and I am stuck here. Not too much of Linux experience in general.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 UNR Does Not Recognize Hard Drive?

Aug 3, 2010

I've been trying for hours now to get Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix onto my HP Mini 1030NR. It boots up fine from the flash drive, but then when I go to install UNR on the hard drive I get through the first 3 steps and then get stuck. It goes to the "Prepare partitions" screen but no devices are shown to be partitioned. I formatted the hard drive I'm trying to install on on another computer to NTFS, so it should be blank and ready to go? I should probably mention the drive doesn't show up in GParted either. Is there something obvious I'm overlooking?

I've tried the methods suggested in this thread to no avail: [URL]

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Recognize Raid Drive

Sep 20, 2010

I intend to install ubuntu server 10.04 on an IBM blade server x3550 m3. The server has two SAS and two SATA II hard drives, each configured as RAID 1 through a ServeRAID m1015 card. However, ubuntu didn't recognize any hard drives at the installation.

Is there a way that I can load raid driver (if exists) during installing Ubuntu?

Ubuntu Installation :: Won't Recognize Hard Drive?

Jun 10, 2011

I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 64bit on my computer, I downloaded it onto my flashdrive from [URL]... When I reach the installation screen all the boxes are checked except 4.4Gb of space available, I know I have enough space because I am using a 1TB hard drive, I also have Windows 7 installed and it recognizes my hard drive. I have tried this with my hard drive partitioned and unpartitioned. I only have 1 hard drive and it has never been part of a raid array. I've also looked on google and the Ubuntu forums and still can't find anything relevant

Fedora Installation :: F10 Does Not Recognize Second Hard Drive

Apr 1, 2009

There are 3 IDE drives in this box.
hda has Debian Lenny installed (with swap) and is to remain.
hdb1 has a linux distro on it.
hdb2 is a data partition and is to remain.
No other partitions on hdb.
HDD is data only (not really relevant but mentioned for completeness)
The system boots via Grub from MBR on hda.

I'm trying to install F10-i686-KDE-LiveCD on hdb1 but F10 won't allow it without modifying the partition tables which will, of course, wipe my data on hdb2. hdb seems to be a happy disk; e2fsck shows it clean and both partitions open properly in Konqueror within the LliveCD.

Fedora Installation :: FC4 - Installer Does Not Recognize Hard Drive

Apr 18, 2009

I have this laptop that I just reformatted in hopes of doing a dual boot between XP and FC4. It is an Acer Aspire 5315-2153 (the Wal-Mart special). I reformatted the drive; the Windows partition is in NTFS and then I have a 10GB partition in FAT32 for Linux. When I try to install FC4, the disk boots into the installer, then it tells me that it does not recognize any hard drives (the disk in this laptop is a Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00). It asks me if I want to load any drivers, and I tried a few and still no success. Any way, after it goes through that, it tries to start anaconda and after that launches it goes to a black screen and nothing happens. So, did I do anything wrong in the Windows install that won't allow the disk to be found? The XP disk only allows a format in NTFS, otherwise I would have done FAT32 on the whole drive. Second, is the anaconda problem something related to the HDD issue, or does anyone think that it may be a separate issue?

Debian Installation :: No Boot - Fails To Recognize Drive As Bootable

Sep 22, 2015

Debian 8 "Jessie"
AMD CPU
EFI motherboard

System was working reliably. Moved components into a new case. Now system will not boot. Either gives error that the disk is not bootable or displays the motherboard configuration screen.

I am able to boot Debian with a USB drive and have attempted fixes in "rescue mode".

I confirmed that the system is booting to EFI mode.

I have tried re-installing the grub-efi package and re-creating the Grub config file with update-grub.

When re-installing Grub I receive "Discarding improperly nested partition ..." warnings but the installation succeeds. I have searched this warning message and the forums seem to say that it can be ignored.

I have tried re-setting the motherboard NVRAM using the jumper block.

The computer shows "debian" as a boot choice in addition to the usual raw drive model listing. However, neither of the choices will boot successfully.

Ubuntu :: BIOS Not Recognizing Hard Drive After Switching?

Feb 21, 2010

I switched the Hard Drive in my main desktop yesterday with another just so I could install something on it. Then, when I switched my other desktop hard drive back to it's original, it wouldn't detect it.

The power cables and all the connections are still good, because it still recognizes my other computers hard drive. I'm in deep trouble for screwing up the family PC, how can I fix it?

General :: Ubuntu Live Disk Not Recognizing Internal And External Drive File Systems?

Jan 6, 2010

Im using it in an attempt to backup all of the files off of my dead Windows xp Computer. Right now I am using the 9.10 live disk of Ubuntu and cannot get the program to recognize what kind of file system my internal hard drive is using. (A western digital 320 GB hard drive with partition 1 in NTFS and part2 in FAT32) I would like to be able to back up this drive onto my 1 TB Western Digital external hard drive that is also in ntfs.

Now here comes the wierd part, it won't read or recognize my interal and external hard drives that run those file systems but it will recognize and allow me to read, edit, and access all of the ntfs hard drives on my home network. I did some lurking and tried a tutorial for creating a mount point and on how to force mount a disk, but neither of my disks would show up in Places/Computer. So then I checked the /etc/fstab file and is says,

aufs / aufs rw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0

Which I think means that it says I have no hard drives installed or connected to the computer. Yet when I go into Disk Utility it tells me the disk is there and asks if I want to format the disk into ntfs...

Ubuntu :: Grub Won't Correctly Recognize OS On Second Drive?

Mar 27, 2010

I have 2 internal harddrives.

I installed Vista on sdb1 and later Ubuntu on sda1.

When I boot up, I am given choice of OS's to boot into. That worked fine until I formatted sdb1 and installed Windows 7.

Now when I boot, I am given the exact same options as before, and when I select the the old "Vista" Menu item, it gives me an error that it can not find some long serial number. The number is not my drive serial number. That number is completely different.

I can still boot into Ubuntu with out a problem.

Now, in order for me to boot into windows, I have change the BIOS boot order. That is obviously not ideal.

Ubuntu :: My Computer Won't Recognize My Hard Drive

Apr 4, 2010

So I tried to install Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire ASE380 desktop, and I think during the partition portion. I think I messed up the hard drive.

Now my computer won't recognize my hard drive. I've tried using the acer repair disks I made, I tried unplugging and checking all the cords and lines, I tired flashing the BIOS, I've tried using other boot disks like Ultimate boot CD, and Acer support is no help either.

I really don't know what to do now. It shows nothing in the boot setup or the BIOS set up. I've also tired the ALT - F10 for acer computers to enter and repair partition and nothing.

I just want to get this thing up and running. I'm tempted to just buy a new hard drive.

Ubuntu :: Ability To Recognize Various Drive Formats

Aug 20, 2010

Since using Ubuntu, I have always been amazed that I can plug a drive formatted on a Mac or PC, into a Ubuntu machine and it will see the files on the drive. Why is it that Ubuntu can do this and Windows can't unless you install special software so that you can read Mac or Ubuntu formatted drives on a PC. I really like this ability of Ubuntu a lot!!

Ubuntu :: Computer Wont' Recognize Drive?

Dec 22, 2010

I have Ubuntu installed on a separate drive. Dual boot with win XP. It was working out fine..Then, and I don't remember exactly when, the boot process was interrupted saying Drive 2 not found..the Ubuntu drive. So I press F2 and enter BIOS setup. I have to cycle through the drives to #2, select 'on', then leave BIOS setup. OK so far..I can confuse myself.. Anyhow, my computer will then continue to the Dual boot screenWindows will load fine, but Ubuntu goes to a command line screen for grub>.When I push 'Esc' I go to a screen with several commands listed, most of which return me to the grub> prompt..the 'reboot' command sends me back through the Bios process, the 'halt' command shuts down the computer. Grub> wants something and I don't know what it is. Do you think I'll have to reinstall? Bad hard drive?I'd like to get my Ubuntu back really just getting to get a feel for the system.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD Drive Won't Recognize DVDs

Apr 13, 2011

I'm usually an Arch Linux Fellow so I have little experience with Debian based systems. I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop for my mum, everything works fine apart from the DVD drive. It refuses to detect DVDs at all (I've tried 8 different ones). It grinds and grumbles at me and makes all sorts of ungodly noises. The drive works fine mechanically as it's been used before under Arch and I used it to install Ubuntu yesterday. I've installed all the relevant codec packages and other odds and ends to play DVDs with, but still nothing.

Ubuntu Installation :: Possible To Move Grub2 To Other Drive And Repair Windows 7 Drive MBR?

Feb 5, 2011

So I install Ubuntu 10.10 on a multi-drive, dual boot with windows 7 computer. At almost the end of the install, I see "running grub-install sda" or whatever it is. sda is my windows drive.So rather than asking where to install the bootloader or give you the option like it used to, it just did it to my "first" drive.

What the hell? Now my Windows MBR is gone. I like to maintain that so if my linux drive dies I can still boot into windows via the old windows boot loader.Possible to move Grub2 to my other drive and repair windows 7 drive MBR?

General :: Drive Don't Recognize DVD's / Resolve This?

Aug 1, 2011

Using Ubuntu 10.10, and a Aopen CD/DVD Drive, that when purchased it was suppose to read and write to everything. But my system will not recognize blank DVD-R or RW.
Everything works on the CD's writing/reading. I can play DVD movies, but thats it.

After many searches I found these posts and checked them out without any problem:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=DVD+disk

DVD Writer not detecting DVD-Rs
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...&pp=50&page=12

I followed the Medibuntu instructions on http://www.medibuntu.org/
and that did not help either.

I purchased four different purchases of DVDs to make sure the problem was not the disks. I had that happen to me a few time with CDs.

I do not get any errors of any kind. The drive light goes on and off like it should.
