This might not be good if you are on dialup - but try downloading puppy linux - 83Mb and booting from cd. It is a live cd. The question this will answer is whether it is a driver/setup issue with feisty et al or whether it is a linux problem. Puppy has a small tool to mount all sorts of partitions - so if it can see and mount them then we may get some clues to the problem.
My first guess from current experience with recent Feisty install is that the installer installed to the hd but the hd numbering was off with what it wrote to /boot/grub/menu.lst. I had to change the grub boot parameters to get it to boot to (hd0,0) rather than whatever it wrote. --- Pii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello guys! > > I have tried one year to get Linux to my "new" > computer, still not > succeeded... :( > > My hardware is following: > Mobo: Abit B9 Intel 965 LGA775 ATX (Having the > JMicron SATA controller) > CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2.13 GHz, Socket 775, > FSB 1066, 2MB Cache > > And my problem is that HDD is not found. > > I just downloaded Kubuntu 7.10beta and tried.
