I'm hoping someone here could help me with the installation problem I'm having, namely Ubuntu doesn't detect my hard drives. I've tried installing from a disc and using wubi; neither have worked. Drives are detected just fine in Windows 7.

I searched around to see if any of my hardware is incompatible, but didn't find anything. Here's a list just in case I missed something:

  • Mobo: ASRock H61M/U3S3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 SATA
  • RAM:G.Skill Sniper 8GB(2 X 4) 240 pin DDR3
  • GPU: GeForce GTX 560 Ti
  • CPU: Intel i5-2400 3.1 GHz Quad-core
  • HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD50000AAKX 500GB SATA
  • SSD:Intel SSDSC2CW120A 128GB

Nothing shows up in gparted or disk utility when I run the live CD.

I ran the boot info script, the results of which are:

Boot Info Script 0.61 [1 April 2012]


============================= Boot Info Summary: ===============================


============================ Drive/Partition Info: =============================

/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 (ro,noatime)


========= Devices which don't seem to have a corresponding hard drive: =========

no block devices found

=============================== StdErr Messages: ===============================

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be? No one over at Ubuntu Forums had any ideas.

Have you made sure you've mounted your memory devices? Ubuntu does not automatically mount storage mediums by default, so if you haven't done that yet try checking here and here. Also try this similar looking question depending on whether you're talking about external hard drives. Just from personal experience, I can say that Ubuntu is very good at controlling devices/files (since everything is a file) and if there's one thing that it does correctly, that is it.
