Please help! Ubuntu can't see my hard drive

Submitted by noob on Mon, 2007-01-15 01:28.

I am trying to use Ubuntu 6.10 for the first time... Can see my new hitachi sata hard drive in the bios, but Ubuntu does not seem to find it during the installation. It gets to step 5 (of 6) partioning, and says "no device detected." I have no idea how to get Ubuntu to see it. Thanks!

What type of sata controller is the drive connected to, and is the controller set up for any type of RAID?
