The HDD BIOS settings in my computer are as follows: ATA/IDE Mode Native (can not change this) Configure SATA As AHCI S.M.A.R.T. Enabled SATA 1 - 4 They just autodetect - can not even arrow to these, cursor position skips over them Hard Disk Pre-Delay 0
In order to be able to change the ATA/IDE Mode, I needed to adjust the AHCI mode down to IDE, then I am able to adjust the ATA/IDE Mode setting and select between Native and Legacy. None of the settings allow for manual adjustment of the drive geometry settings. All possible modes the BIOS support always force auto-detect of the geometry details. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874698 Title: Ubuntu Lucid, Oneiric, and Debian 6.0.3 prevent system POST once installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnu-fdisk/+bug/874698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
