Question #76717 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76717

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Xubuntu and Kubuntu are EXACTLY the same as ubuntu but use KDE and Xfce
as the default desktop environment. What is under the hood is exactly
the same.

Can you boot to the live CD environment and provide the text in the file
that pops up when you run this command:

dmesg > ~/output.txt; gedit ~/output.txt

This will help us greatly

The fact it works in windows means the drive is configued right and is
communicatable by the motherboard which rules out bad bios settings.

You could also try this:

sudo fdisk -l; sudo modprobe ata_piix; sleep 10; sudo fdisk -l

Got the module according to this site:

http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/Asrock/wolfdale-1333

if the command doesnt work (or says its already modprobed) try

sudo rmmod ata_piix; sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart; sleep 10; sudo
modprobe ata_piix; sleep 10; sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart

Might just do the trick.
