[Bug 209974] Re: Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions
I tried Ubuntu 8.10, and I managed to install it ! But before, I had to delete linux partitions (but not my FAT and NTFS partitions), using fdisk, and recreate them, because the partitioner didn't detect any existing partitions. Did the problem come from the linux partitions ? I don't know, but I hope I won't have this problem again in the future :) -- Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 209974] Re: Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions
Ah, I remember now that flowbot said he couldn't reproduce this any more. I'm going to hope that this has been dealt with by the fix for bug 232175 and close this bug. If any of you folks can still reproduce it with Intrepid, I'd really appreciate it if you could each, *separately*, file a new bug rather than continuing with this one. It's quite possible that you're all experiencing things that are really separate bugs deep down even though they have similar symptoms, and it doesn't really help me to have them all stuck together in the same bug report. If you find that this is still a problem for you in Intrepid, then please include the output of 'sudo od -Ax -tx1 -N512 /dev/sda' as I mentioned before (replacing /dev/sda with /dev/sdb or whatever if your hard disk is called by a different device name). This dumps the contents of your partition table in such a way that I should be able to feed it back to parted on my system and reproduce your problem. ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 209974] Re: Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions
Have to agree with you dmsuperman ... PROBLEM: - the overlapping partitions seems to be the problem. However mine went wobbly with the 'simple' trial installation of windoze(xp). I should have had a clue when it blue-screened me twice. With only that ONE partition overlap, it threw everything off so Ubuntu's PartEd would not show any partitions on my drive (I have quite a few). SOLUTION: - TestDisk to the rescue (again!-brilliant little program) ... I decided to delete the partion (it was a fresh install so I lost nothing). Another possibility would have been to shrink the windoze partition creating a gap between it an the next partition, if there is some software that could correctly recognise it and work with it. After that one deletion, I'm in Ubuntu with PartEd fully recognising all the remaining partitions, and ready to roar!

[Bug 209974] Re: Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions
I'd like to add that I have this issue as well (not necessarily with the Xubuntu disc, but both the LiveCD and Alternate install CD for Ubuntu Hardy Heron have this issue). I have 2 SATA drives, a 400GB with a single NTFS partition, and a 320GB one. The 320GB has: 75GB NTFS 20GB EXT3 4GB Swap 200GB EXT3 The second partition (the first EXT3 one) is where my Ubuntu currently resides. However, when I load up either installer, it only detects that I have the first drive, with a single NTFS partition on it (the 400GB one) and my second drive shows 0 partitions, only the option to create a new partition table. I'd say this is a pretty serious bug, as it prevents me (and others) from installing Ubuntu 8.04 period. As a workaround, I'm going to install 7.10, and upgrade in place, but I always have felt uneasy about an in place upgrade, preferring instead to do a fresh install. -- Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 209974] Re: Xubuntu Hardy live installer doesn't detect HDD partitions
Recall that parted was detecting my disk label as type loop instead of msdos and, as a consequence, treating my hard drive as a single partition: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/209974/comments/7 I have found a way to work around this problem in my case that I will describe in case others are having the same problem. The file parted-1.7.1/libparted/labels/dos.c is apparently the one that tests a disk label to see if it is of type msdos. It contains the test: /* if this is a FAT fs, fail here. Note that the Smart Boot Manager * Loader (SBML) signature indicates a partition table, not a file * system. */ if ((!strncmp (part_table.boot_code + 0x36, FAT, 3) strncmp (part_table.boot_code + 0x40, SBML, 4) != 0) || !strncmp (part_table.boot_code + 0x52, FAT, 3)) return 0; which says that a label is NOT of type msdos if the label contains the string FAT at offset 0x36 (but not SMBL at 0x40) or the string FAT at offset 0x52.

I found FAT at offset 0x52. (This explains why the disk label was not classified as msdos. I have been unable to explain why the label was classified as loop.) I used hexedit to change offset 0x52 from 0x46 to 0x66 so the string became fAT instead of FAT. Thereafter parted started recognizing my disk label as msdos and could see all of my partitions. I was able to complete a Ubuntu installation on my hard drive. I do not know the source of FAT at offset 0x52 of my disk label. It does not appear to have been placed there by bootlace.com from the grub4dos package http://download.gna.org/grub4dos/grub4dos-0.4.3-2008-03-14.zip which I used to install my boot loader. I have attached a copy of the first sector of my disk in case it would be useful to the developers. In summary, there is an inconsistency between the way fdisk and parted treat some disks with msdos labels. If your hard drive has multiple partitions when viewed by fdisk but only one partition when viewed by parted (which may be of type loop), dump the first sector of the drive to see if it contains FAT at offset 0x52 or 0x36. If you find FAT at one of those locations, changing it may fix your problem.
