I bought a new rig.
Q8200 Intel Quad Core 2.33ghz LGA775
ASUS P5ql Pro Motherboard
4gb DDR2 800 G. Skill RAM
650w Antec PSU
500gb Seagate SATA HDD
500gb Seagate SATA HDD
250gb WD SATA HDD
250gb WD SATA HDD
I installed Windows XP Professional SP2 just fine. I had zero issues. However, once I booted to my Ubuntu Live CD (Hardy Heron 32 bit) it showed nothing in the partition editor. I opened g-parted and it said the same thing. Sudo fdisk -l came back blank.
So, we know XP works fine. It boots fine, it installed fine, it's just.. fine? Ha. So there's some reason that Ubuntu isn't happy. I'm assuming it's a BIOS setting or else something I have to run in terminal on the Live CD to kick Ubuntu into a good mood.
Any ideas?
EDIT - Would AHCI be it? I did an internship where we had over 400 laptops come in and we cloned them all. In order for the laptops to boot, we needed to turn off AHCI and enable compatibility mode. Because of that, once I saw AHCI in my BIOS, I just ignored it. But somebody just suggested on Ubuntu forums that I enable that.
Any thoughts on the matter? Or any information as to what AHCI really is?
