[Disk not detected] can't install 10.4
Internal SATA hard drive with XP installed is not seen at boot of Ubuntu CD (both Ubiquity and Gparted).
External USB hard drive are seen.
------------------
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.4 on my hard drive. It already has Win XP installed on it, but i would like to just wipe that out and have Ubuntu instead. I can boot from the live CD but when I go to full install it stops at the screen to select hard drive nothing is listed and it says no root device. However, if I have one of my external drives plugged in that I use for extra storage only it can see that, but thats not where I want Ubuntu. I have a GeForce 8200 and motherboard and the hard drive I am trying to install onto is a Hitachi deskstar 500gb SATA. I've been struggling with this for the past couple days. I'm not that tech savvy so help would be awesome.
