Installing Fedora C12 in Asus P5GC-MX1333 with Sata HD

[nelioabreu]

Hi there,

I'm trying to install Linux Fedora Core 12 in a PC with a P5GC-MX1333 motherboard from Asus and a Sata hard drive, however, when boot to the installation menu, after chosing the language and keyboard, I get a message that there seams to be no hard drive in the PC. The hard drive is detected in the post during startup, and is also detected by a Windows XP Installation CD. Can any one help me?

Thanks.

Hi and Welcome !

Does any other Linux distro detect SATA Hard disk in your machine?
Try PartedMagic LiveCD/USB and check if it detects Hard disk.

Or

Pass ide=nodma option to kernel during at startup during installation.

No. I haven't. I only have Fedora.

Fedora Core 12 doesn't recognize some of the controlers out there, and I have the same problem with Ubuntu installing in an Ultra 320 Controller. (Some of The Sata Controlers are recognized as storage controlers, like the older SCSIs )
I am using Kubuntu for SCSIs that I have. Try to use Kubuntu.

I've discover....it's the hard disk definition in the BIOS....must not have LBA active.
LBA must be set to Disable.
