Hi,

1. are you using the 3gbps or the 6gbps SATA port on the motherboard? do you know what SATA controller is used for either?

2. Do you have the drive in AHCI mode in the BIOS?

3. you could also try the Astaro 9 beta.

4. do other linux distributions see the drive?

Thx for answer.

1.Im not using the 3 or 6 gbs port on the mainbord. just one of the regular 4
2.i have tried ide and ahci mode in bios...no luck
3.i have not yet tried 9 beta....this is an installation that i hoped would work for some time and i dont want to install a fresh copy again when beta goes public. but i can see if 9 does recognice the port or drive..

i dont know if other linux see the drive...i only have asg..

i will try 9 beta...

i think the problem is the mainboard is to new and also the sata ports.so there is no support for it..

i have the mainboard drivers for the sata ports...does this help me??
