Q. Why Linux is not detecting or recognize my attached hard disk? How do I install Linux on SATA hard disks?my computer is AMD-64(hp)Athlon
I am having trouble getting my AMD64 desktop, running Fedora 9, to recognize an external SATA hard drive, using USB. The system utilizes an internal SATA h/d for its primary storage. The system works fine for all other external devices including IDE drives, thumb drives, etc. Any help would be appreciated. TIA
Thank you! This completely fixed my Ophcrack “no hashes found” problem. The C: drive couldn’t even be detected without AHCI mode enabled in the bios :)
Thanks again, you’re the best!
