Ubuntu

Internal hard drives are not detected even after changing controller to AHCI

Asked by Raghavendra S Bhat

Strange problem I have encountered when I was installing 20.04.2 LTS version of ubuntu.In the live USB each and every functions were working properly but when I opened files app it did not show any hard drives .I found out that storage controller was set to IDE so I changed it to AHCI but still no hopes,still the installer and the live USB not detecting any harddrives.
I cannot proceed installation. Installation type is empty.It shows only dev/sda which is my USB drive itself.
Things I have already tried
    1.Updated the BIOS
    2.Disabled secure boot and fast boot

The Ubuntu live is just that live on the USB. You can install click the install icon. This Ubuntu install will find the hard drive during the actual installation with various options of how to format the hard drive.

If you decide to format your own hard drive on the installation type click do something else and the Gparted opens to manually partition your hard drive.

Can you help with this problem?
