[Question #78553]: Hard disk not recognized in Ubuntu 9.04 or 8.10, works in 8.04.

 

New question #78553 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78553

Hey,

Thank you for your attention. I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04, where both my hard drives are available. XP recognizes them too, but Ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 miss the second one. Both Windows and Ubuntu are installed on the same hard drive. The problem drive is for storage. NTFS. I wish to install 9.04 from a live cd.
The following was all gathered using the 9.04 live cd. Sorry if there is too much junk, but I try to tell you all that was asked in earlier discussions in other places on the same subject.

Oh, and let me add, there physically are two hard drives.

$ sudo fdisk -l

I do not know what else to include. I saw in this forum a post where the problem was a missing driver (I think) for something, but the post was so unique-case with the hardware type, I could not keep up being relatively new to Ubuntu. The link is https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76717 anyway, should that help.

Thank you all for bearing with me. I would really appreciate your kind input.

Kristo
