Thread: 12.04 dont detect SATA Disks


hi everyone:

downloaded/check md5 iso 64bit.
burned it, , when installing did not detect 2 sata disks.

mobo asus a8v-x.

have been reading might bios setting, it? if so, whats setting should use?

on second level, , less important: desambiguation: sata (serial ata), dont mean have use raid (a logical configuration of disks). have been reading lot, , got mixed up, or perhaps there did not know.


if disks have been used in raid, there meta data remains , installer ignoring them.

first go bios , set sata mode ahci. no, don't need use raid if don't want to.

after making sure sata mode ahci, boot ubuntu cd in live mode (try ubuntu), open terminal , execute:
code:
sudo dmraid -e -r /dev/sda sudo dmraid -e -r /dev/sdb
that remove meta data , installer should work fine after that.

note: not run above commands if using raid because break array. install on raid different procedure.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
