Well, I'm still puzzled why OI installer and/or gparted won't show you
any info about the drive, however, your screenshot does tell a story:
It seems the disk is laid out in MBR partitioning after all, however,
it has all 4 primary partitions assigned (including one that holds the

Most BIOSes really don't like trying to boot to things beyond a
certain threshold into the drive [who even bothers implementing full
LBA support, anyway...]
Make a traditional MBR partition table and take a 100GB primary
partition for root (or 64 GB or 32 or something smaller) - make it
using gpar
To at least summarize your problem, without all the distracting irrelevant
details and tangents of the OP and this thread in general... Even if I don't
have an answer for you ...
When you boot the OI installer DVD, with a 2TB drive attached, OI simply cannot
see the disk.
When you boot the sam

Are you trying to dual/triple boot the system?
Yes. I was still waking up.
