Re: [Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
I hate to say it but your problem has nothing to do with the partition table problems people were having. It seems like your table is fine. Have you tried manually adding the partition to fstab? I mean why is it failing? Does a mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mount/Windows work for instance? Just saying something doesn't work really doesn't give any insight into the problem. I think like a help forum would be a better place to go or perhaps finding someone with a similar problem in the bugtraq as yours.

Has anybody figured out a way around this? I royally screwed up my sound driver and decided I would just install Intrepid. I had been using hardy.

Looking at what zosX has said about the overlapping, I am wondering which one of these do I delete and how do I do that? Thank you very much.

I would like to keep these 3, but am not sure how to determine which one i don't need.

Re: [Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
Sure. Make sure that your file table is correct and in proper order. That was my initial problem. I believe that I used cfdisk to show the partitions. Make sure that any extended partitions only contain logical drives. I had a logical drive somehow marked as a primary partition. Changing the bit allowed gparted to read the table correctly. It should throw a warning on such problems versus the silent approach, but I guess that doesn't really make it a bug. I'm looking at your partition table now and the first partition seems to just be unused (that 87megs), you can leave that. It is pretty normal to have slack or unallocated space at the beginning or ending of a drive, though 87 megs is kind of a large chunk. I'm guessing that grub at least works off the boot partition. First of all the windows logical volume manager is showing you all of your partitions and unallocated space. The fdisk from linux is only showing you partitions that are actually formatted and allocated. Thus the FAT partition at the end shows up. That 2.5 gig partition surely could be backed up to another partition can it not? I would suggest just trying to reduce the partitions at the end to 0 and simply deleting the whole extended partition, leaving just your dell recovery partition and the vista install intact. It will at least reduce the number of partitions that may be causing you problems. What does parted from the command line say? Overlapping partitions? Try opening the drive in cfdisk and doing a print (key P). It will tell you what the type of partition is and everything. Having that blank space with an extended partition following with more blank space and then a logical partition just might be compounding your issues. Why not make an extended partition to encompass everything after Vista and then break it into logical partitions? Three logical partitions, linux, swap, media. You can boot linux from any partition with grub or lilo. Cfdisk is probably going to really become your good friend here. -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 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

when i type cfdisk into the terminal, it gives FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive. Press any key to exit cfdisk. That first 87MB partition appeared a few days ago, I am not sure why.

Re: [Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
I'd still try to delete that extended partition and recreate it. Sounds like your partition table is pretty screwed to me. Rewriting it with windows or something might help. I don't think anything will work for you without changes to the table somehow. Unallocated space doesn't just suddenly appear or your table became suddenly corrupt. :P You can always recreate the FAT32 partition at the end for the media you might need to make the volume label the same, but I doubt the size matters as long as it is FAT32..have you thought about installing ubuntu on your windows partiton and boot selected with windows? :) -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 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 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
Same problem on the release candidate. cfdisk is now on the iso, and that also seems to report the correct table information. I think I can safely rule out that there is something wrong with my partition table. Isn't the installer partitioning utility based on gparted? Both show nothing just an empty drive of unallocated space. ** Attachment added: Screenshot.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18975039/Screenshot.png -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 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 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
Sorry for all the comments (squeaky wheel, hehe). Also you might want to notice that the drive sizes are listed differently between cfdisk/fdisk and gparted. I think therein lies a clue. The ONLY software that refuses to correctly report the drive capacity and the partition table so far is gparted and the ubuntu installer. This is with the 32-bit installer. Haven't tried the 64-bit, nor would I really care to be honest. Athlon64-3000,sis raid180 serial ata, with the not so hot, not so bad sis (740?) AMD64 chipset. Any input would be appreciated as I really don't know where to begin to look when the core utilities and the kernel are giving me the results I would expet Ok, so I just open parted from the command line, and here is what I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb GNU Parted 1.8.9 Using /dev/sdb Welcome to GNU Parted!

[Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
Actuall I fail altogether. You cannot have a primary partition existing in a extended partition. Don't know why I didn't see that right away. I also have no clue as to how that happened. Partition table corruption? Strange. Deleting the partition in cfdisk makes it readable in gparted. Issue solved. Perhaps the devs at gparted should give an error in the gui if the table somehow seems to overlap.

Confirmed on Kubuntu Intrepid RC, and this time, it shows only white blank space (as if there are no hdd's).

[Bug 278159] Re: Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives
The latest snapshot still does not show my partitions. Ubuntu's console fdisk shows them fine while the installer and gparted do not. Seeing as how I made the partitions with gparted in the first place, there should not be a conflict here. Writing the table from the console fdisk does nothing to alleviate the problem. I went to attach a screenshot, but apparently it was never saved to my NTFS partition. (Probably mounted read only) Though the file manager showed it as being saved on the partition. (another bug? ;) Oh yeah, the NTFS partition I mounted was on the drive that does not show the partition table under gparted. So I guess it shows up in /proc/partitions, which means that there is a bug in gparted and by extension ubuntu's installer. If I remember correctly I tried the text installer to no avail as well. Kind of a bummer for sure. If someone needs a screenshot to confirm, I'd be happy to go back and produce one. -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 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

I'm having a similar/related problem. I used yesterday's (10/7) snapshot install CD, amd64 server (text installer), and the install process fails at the partitioning step. I was able to use a shell on another tty to partition my hd (/dev/sda), but even once partitioned, the installer doesn't see them, won't do anything with them. They are visible in /proc/partitions. I have the 10/8 snapshot and will try again tonight.

I'm having this problem too.
