Installing Ubuntu 12 on SATA III drive
- by Jared
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. I have changed the controller from IDE to AHCI to no avail, the install still will only recognize my very small second drive that is plugged into a SATA II port.
The thing is, the unguided install sees this drive just fine, I just am not sure enough of what I'm doing to feel safe installing via this method.
Is there a fix for this beyond plugging my drive into a SATA II port? I really would like to avoid this because of my terrible cable management skills it would be a huge pain to switch it over.
