Topic: No devices found
I may be posting in the the wrong forum, but here is my problem.
I am trying to install ubuntu (10.10 Meerkat) as a dual boot, with vista already installed.
When I get to the third page of the install process, there is a cross on the line which reads
"has at least 2.6Gb available drive space". So the installation stalls right there.
When I open the Gparted, from the toolbar, Gparted opens and states "No devices found".
It does see the cd/rom drive and its contents but nothing else.
The system is new, the motherboard is a GIGABYTE X58A-UD3R, and the hard drive is a SATA 1TB seagate.
I used windows disk management to shrink the C: drive to 600Gb. With the rest as unallocated.
My cd live boot disk is good, I downloaded it using a torrent today, and checked it using Md5 checksum.
The torrent was recommended by http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html.
I haven't been able to find a similar problem on these or the ubuntu forums.
Thanks, so much for any help.
