Thread: Ubuntu doesn't recognize hard drive

hey built computer parts ordered off newegg.com

decided go ubuntu instead of windows time i'm studying computer programming @ college , heard linux better people wanted program or learn how program.

liked fact free.

i'm having problems. got working (sort of) , running ubuntu 11.04 gnu/linux off live cd. however, ubuntu telling me there no hard disk detected, stopping me installing system.

hard drive this:

hitachi deskstar 7k3000 hds723015bla642 (0f12114) 1.5tb 7200 rpm 64mb cache sata 6.0gb/s 3.5" internal hard drive -bare drive

specs of system are:

motherboard:
gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud5 am3+ amd 990fx sata 6gb/s usb 3.0 atx amd motherboard

power supply:
hec orion xpower585 585w atx12v 2.01 power supply

cpu:
amd phenom ii x6 1100t black edition thuban 3.3ghz, 3.7ghz turbo 6 x 512kb l2 cache 6mb l3 cache socket am3 125w six-core desktop processor

memory:
g.skill ripjaws series 16gb (4 x 4gb) 240-pin ddr3 sdram ddr3 1066 (pc3 8500) desktop memory

graphics card:
visiontek radeon 5450 2gb ddr3 memory

-----

conclusion: there 1 of 3 things happening.

1) hard drive works, isn't recognized ubuntu

2) plugged hard drive in wrong

3) hard drive doa (as things ordered off newegg are).

thanks, cavil.

edit: issue fixed.

solution: had mess integrated peripheral settings in bios. mobo's default setting sata ports including 6.0 gb/s ones ide.

unfortunately hard drive works raid or ahci (i opted latter).

have go under integrated peripherals -> on chip settings ->

, switch 6.0 gb/s ones ide (the default setting) raid or ahci.

guess if wanted use regular ports hard drvies. switch ide setting too.

hard drives aren't unsupported - should work. new build, have rules out configuration error? cables or bios options, isn't right. while drive dead, it's rather unlikely, , can test elsewhere.
