what can i do?
if i go to disk utility i see the hard drive.
but the installer does nt.
if i use IDE mode it does work but i guess it will work slower.

thxs in advance
 


Is Ubuntu installed on the hard drive?

Also, do the command `df', and post the results.
 
i could nt install it yet.
i m just running a live cd.
i ll do what you say and i ll post it here.
thxs
 
Oh, in that case, do a `ls /dev' (don't do the df).

Also, how many hard drives are in the computer?

i solve

i did this, this seems to help sometimes:
1. Start Ubuntu in live mode.
2. Start a terminal and remove the dmraid program:
Code:

sudo apt-get remove dmraid

3. Now start the installer and try it again.


with this it works great.
the issue now it does nt see how much i have used in the partition so i cant change the partition just format them and it wont let me change the size

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove dmraid


any idea?
 
Several years ago, when I was first started to play with Linux, I remember not being able to resize a windows partition, and ended up deleting it because Windows is of no use to me except to play vidya games (and the box was too slow to play games to begin with).

Point being that I'm only googling at this point.
I would install the package `ntfs-3g' if it isn't already installed, and use gparted to try to resize/modify/etc. the filesystems.

Also, this thread is really worth giving a good stare at for this:

Moreover, it seems there are in fact three partitions on that harddrive; /dev/sda[1-3].
