[Bug 1175402] Re: Failure to find SSD and HDD

[iru]

Phillip,

Who wants to watch the football?
Spent some time with the wife of almost 50 years and then here I am again.

Understanding the wonderful world of computers I booted off the USB and
tried another install onto the ssd.

Went like a rocket, no errors about applications, just reboot and go.

Up she came, screen was ugly but input the user, password, close the lid
and hit the power button and we are up into a beautiful Mint Cinamon
screen.

Need to install the wifi realtek drivers. Pull them down from the
Internet, woops no internet access.

Woops no Internet access on the computer I am writing this on.

Hmmmm, perhaps it is time to watch the football........

Internet is back, installing gparted on the Toshiba, well almost 33
minutes to go with updates.

Have invoked the update process and am currently installing about 290
updates.

Hopefully when I next power up the Toshiba Linux reboots.

Time to watch the football.

Ian

PS: on the previous boot I saw no sign of the win7 recovery, been
constant, but suddenly not there....

Title:
  Failure to find SSD and HDD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Gentlefolk,

  I have a Toshiba U840W laptop with a 32G SSD and a 500G HDD. Runs
  win7. Has 200G spare space.

  I have tried to install Ubuntu and MINT off a USB flash. I get the
  same problem in Ubuntu and Mint. Currently have Mint on the USB flash.

  I have:

  1. Updated the BIOS to the latest version. No improvement.

  2. On Mint 14 performed an apt-get install ubiquity and installed 75MB
  of update.

  3. On Mint 14 performed "ubiquity -d".

  The problem is that ubiquity does not see the SSD or the HDD.

  On the first "installation type" screen it reports "no detected
  operating systems" (win7 is installs and boots).

  I choose "something else" and on the second "installation type" screen
  only /dev/sdc USB flash is displayed.

  Any file manager displays displays the directories in the windows partition.
  GParted displays all partitions and unused space on the HDD.

  I will attach log files.

  Any assistance/solutions/direction appreciated, Ian
