http://ubuntuforums.org – So, I just purchased a shiny new LG 10x BD-ROM Combo drive. I installed it without problems. The rest of my system consists of: MSI k9a2 platinum mobo AMD Phenom 9950 3x SATA HDD nvidia gtx260 That's probably everything pertinent. I have the SATA HDDs installed on SATA ports 1, 3, 4 (not the promise slots, 5 & 6), and the BD-ROM installed on SATA 2. I don't think that's an issue, though. I did replace a working sony opiartic (sp?) DVD-RW, so I don' (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Computer Check 3 years 34 weeks ago

Hey everyone. Im building a new gaming computer, which I plan to dual boot with XP (for gaming) and Ubuntu (for work.)

Here's The list of parts, I wanted someone other than myself who knows computers to give it a once over for compatibility. Also I'm not too familiar with power supplies, my current computer has one built into the case, but the case I am going to use doesn't

Here's my hardware:

GA-880GA-UD3H(rev. 2.2) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3789#sp

Had Ubuntu 11.04 server running with 6 Seagate 1TB ST31000524AS drives. Was NOT using the 2 white gigabyte sata ports, only blue.

Hello all, inspired by this article from the New York Times, i wanted to make an ubuntu computer that would sit in my living room and hook to my LCD hd tv and be able to handle hul

I have recently purchased a new system. I have 3 problems which all seem to point to some sort of incompatibility between IDE and SATA drives. I'm probably wrong here, but in my mind I'm convinced that they are connected.

I have a Foxconn A88GMV motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor and 4GB memory. The SATA is 1TB and the IDEs are 500 and 300MB.

Need help adding SATA drive 3 years 34 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.

The system is running great in fedora 7 or 12 with 6 sata drives installed. I tried to install 2 more sata drives(total 8 drives), tested some combinations: 6 drives in sata ports and 2 in sas ports, or 2 in sata ports and 6 in sas ports... the BIOS can detect all 8 drives, but the fedora 7 and 12 just detect 6 sata drives.

I'm going to be building a new system this winter as a replacement for my dell laptop-turned-desktop which has a twice broken screen, slowly dying HDD, and slowly dying USB. This'll be my first time building a computer...

My goal:

I am new to Ubuntu, the desktop that it(Ubuntu) is installed on does not have a cd drive yet. I think I have found one on newegg but i am worried that it will not be supported by Ubuntu because it is not listed in the compatibility section. Here is the link if someone could check it out and tell me if it will work.

Hello all.

I recently upgraded to an SSD on my older SATA 3G motherboard.

I would like to get a SATA 6G controller PCI-E version to take full advantage of the SSD capability.

I was looking on Newegg and apparently PCI-E SATA 6G controllers don't get good reviews from customers.

I am looking at the HighPoint 620 PCI-E controller.
