http://ubuntuforums.org – I've been struggling today with a hard drive that would go into read only mode as I was getting errors in the dmesg related to sata. The system was doing an update and it crashed on me and I was unable to do anything since it said I needed to run dpkg --reconfigure -a but the computer would freeze on me during the command. For the heck of it, I swapped out the sata cable and I changed the sata bus on the MB where the drive was plugged into. I rebooted and now I was able to run --reconfig. I then was able to install smartools and I ran a short test and it said no errors. Guess my question is I (Hardware)

Hi,

I had put a second Sata hard drive in my computer and was pleasantly surprised not to run into any problems. No BIOS changes, just start the partitioner, partition, mount, it worked.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on a SATA III drive however the installer will not recognize my drive in the guided (dual-boot) install.

Need help adding SATA drive 3 years 30 weeks ago

I have a working F-10 box with an older motherboard (pre-sata). The p-ata ports are full (4 drives), so I'm trying to add a sata controller and another drive. The sata controller plugs into the pci bus, but is not detected by the bios (very old). After booting, the OS loads the driver module(s) and detects the new controller and drive.

Problem with second SATA drive 35 weeks 3 days ago

My laptop has two hard drive bays, and just recently I added a second SATA drive (moved it from my old laptop) to the extra bay.Now, anytime the second hard drive /dev/sdb has any heavy disk activity, it appears to cause a shutdown of the SATA port for the first drive (/dev/sda)!  Though the second drive is still fine, and I can still write to it until the system crashes from the root drive (

Hi there,I just bought a new hard drive for my lenovo ThinkPad R60e.

I'm confused about the hard drive requirements to use VMWare ESXI 4.1

I conducted an experiment on an old desktop PC with a SATA hard drive and it couldn't find it.

I'm now ready to go to production but I'm unsure whether a SATA hard drive will be ok. If not should I use a SSD.

Note: I'm not using RAID

I have installed a sata controller (Rosewell RC-217) in a older PC. I ran the ubuntu 9.10 server version and I was able to install the OS. I was able to see the new sata hard drive I was able to format it. I could see everything about the drive but when the PC rebooted after the OS was installed it now can not see the hard drive.

How do I make CentOS run SATA drives at 3Gb/s at boot?

Background:

I'm having an issue with a motherboard that claims to support 6Gb/s SATA transfer speeds, but when using 4 drives on it, in a software RAID 10 with heavy disk IO, some of the SATA links start throwing kernel errors, ie. ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED.

My computer has a SSD drive along with a SATA drive. I've installed Windows on the SSD drive (Intel) already and I would like to install Linux Mint on a partition created on the SATA hard drive. So I partitioned the SATA hard drive like so: linux-swap, EXT4 and a FAT32 partition.

I installed Mint on the EXT4 partition, and when I restarted the computer, there is no GRUB!
