As I said in bug #270151 you can do this: echo options libata ignore_hpa=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/libata-options
This should work on the livecd if you do it from the busybox prompt in the initramfs, or should take effect permanently when done from the hard disk. Also you should check your bios for an option to disable the HPA because it sounds like it is setting the HPA to prevent older dumb operating systems from being confused by seeing a drive larger than 128 GB. If you can't find that, then try the utility at http://www.hdat2.com/ to remove the HPA from the drive. -- Manual partitioning shows no partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267199 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
