SATA DRIVE NOT DETECTED

[varaahan]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently I added a SATA drive (160 GB) and the Kubuntu Dapper installer did not fine the drive. Only the primary IDE HDD is detected. This is the case with Debian,PCLOS etc.
Only Zenwalk and Mandriva Free 2007 detected the drive correctly.
How to make Kubuntu detect thew new SATA drive ?

I am using AMD 3000+ and Asus A8V-VM mother board.

Re: SATA DRIVE NOT DETECTED

My little bits of experience in Edgy indicate that IDE and SATA drives do not always play nice together, expecially if you try to control how GRUB is installed and configured. Here are other discussions on this problem:

Re: SATA DRIVE NOT DETECTED

in the BIOS make sure that scsi/sata is the first boot device
also enable the on board raid controller

disconnect the IDE drive
then try the install of kubuntu on to the sata drive ...

you can reconnect the IDE drive after the install ...
