How to install Linux installation on SATA hdd with MSI VIA KM4M-V

I'm having AMD 2600+
MSI motherboard with VIA KM4M chipset
80GB SATA harddisk (1 unit) with 256 MB RAM
When I tried installing Linux, setup proceeds until the HDD partitioning screen and I get the msg " NO HDD found" or something similar messg.
My question is 1 - does the above config supports Linux installation, if yes then how to do it and if no, then whats the solution.
Has anyone faced similar situation...pl reply ASAP. I'd be obliged....
best rgds,
Mounesh.

Hello!
I'm no good at Linux, there muste be better people coming along later, just two questions:
Doubt VIA (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=610&kind=1 ), have support for Linux? Check http://www.viaarena.com!
Everything is alright in BIOS, SATA enabled and so on?
You might also check the manufacturer of the hard disk for software and advice.

  • How to install 10.5 if erased HDD with 10.4?

    I wanted to install 10.4 fresh so I erased the HDD with a program I use on my PC all the time to do fresh installs of XP (formats the drive). I stupidly thought the 10.4 disk that came with my mac was a full install. I soon found out that wasn't true. I decided to go buy 10.5 not just for the upgrade but to have a disc to use if I ever needed to reinstall the OS. Well, turns out that doesn't want to install either. The only thing that happens when I put it in is a screen comes up saying there's no bootable device or CD and to press any key when there is one. Pressing anything on the computer doesn't work. I now realize that it's not a full version like I thought it was (I asked the guy at the counter if it would install without 10.4 and he said yes. Now I can't return it because it's software).
    Can anyone give me any advice on what to do? I don't have another mac or an iPod so any ideas with those are out of the question. Thanks for reading.

    Welcome to the Forum!
    It sounds like you bought an upgrade version of Leopard rather than the standard installation disc. Yet, the guy at the counter led you to believe it was the latter. If that has turned out not to be the case take it back and get him to confirm that you have purchased on his advice the wrong disc for your system. I am surprised though as there should be a clear distinction between upgrade and install discs.

    Hi again,
    I would like to answer to another question, just in case:
    Question: Can I dual boot Win7 and Linux on a UEFI capable bios?
    Answer: Yes you can. If your HDD is formatted in MBR partition table (or msdos) than you can install first windows 7 and than the distro of your choice. BUT, careful, if you install windows from a DVD media it will convert your HDD in GPT partition table and dual boot will be almost impossible... (or will give you a lot of headache) to avoid this, dump the win7 iso to an usb using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Installing from USB will not change the hdd in GPT partition table.
    take care

    OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.

    I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
    I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

(see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • Where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    Depends on the original drive. According to OWC, at least last time I checked some months ago, any current WD drive they sell (up to 2 TB?) will be able to be swapped directly. I am unable to confirm this personally. But, even so, that was a while back. You should check with them again on this. As for Seagates, that might not be so simple.
    This is the original article on this from them.
    http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs
    If you find a drive that OWC sells and is certain will swap in directly, you can see if newegg.com has it for less.
    This one that OWC sells will swap in directly, according to them.

  • [solved] How to install Linux on the Fujitsu Scaleo Home Server 2205

    Hello!
    I am currently thinking about buying a Fujitsu Scaleo Home Server 2205.
    The according datasheet can be found here.
    The default installation includes Windows Home Server, which is why I have to find a way to install Linux on it (still thinking about which distribution).
    But since it doesn't offer regular installation interfaces, I don't know how to do it without having to buy extra equipment.
    I thought about just swapping one hard disk, and installing using a regular PC, but figured that this would cause problems with RAID afterwards.
    What do you suggest?
    Thanks!

    I remember having a 300W PSU in my Celeron Mendocino-based PC but I never bothered to measure the actual power consumption at the wall socket. Did you measure that 50W at the socket?
    For comparison, TS-109 idles at 14W while Linksys NSLU2 at just 8W.
    Of course, 266MHz ARM/32MB RAM in NSLU2 will not be enough for most applications. I am personally really excited about Marvell's Kirkwood platform, Sheevaplug drains only 4W idle / 7W full load (!) and actually sports a 1.2GHz processor / 512MB RAM. If only they made a proper NAS solution using this platform... edit: they did, there's TS-119 but QNAP is traditionally overpriced.

  • How to install Windows on a SATA boot drive

    Here is how to install Windows XP on a SATA boot drive.  This procedure was first developed by syar2003 and has been used by many iusers ncluding myself.   Although it was originally developed for Neo2 mb's and Windows XP Pro, it has general applicability to systems as well.
    1.  Have only the SATA drive you want to be the boot drive active in your system.  Disconnect the power to all other HDD's if any.
    2.  Have only one optical drive active. Disconnect the power to the other opticals if any. (Best to have a burner optical as master on IDE1.)
    3.  Plug SATA drive into SATA 1 on the mb.  (it may show us as an IDE drive somewhere down the list in BIOS.  That's okl)
    4.  Enable appropriate SATA options in BIOS.  Set boot order to floppy, cd, SATA drive.  Set boot priority to SATA drive.
    5.  Partition and format the SATA HDD using the utilites CD that came with the SATA drive.  (If you don't have an HDD utilities disk, download one from the website of your HDD manufacturer.)
    6.  Run Windows  setup.  No need to load drivers at the F6 promt unless you are planning to do a RAID configuration.
    7.  Windows XP should install without incident.
    8.  After you are up and running, plug the power back into your other HDD and optical drives if any.
    If you have a board older than the K8 series, it may be necessary to load the SATA drivers at the F6 prompt.  If the above procedure does not work, than try it again loading the SATA drivers.
    If this procedure does not work for you, it is likely that your particular SATA HDD has some compatablity problem with Windows setup and/or your motherboard.  The solution to this is to try another SATA drive.  In general, most failures using this procedure have been traced to certain WD, Seagate and Hitachi SATA drivers of smaller capacities.  Fewer problems seem to have occured with Maxtor HDD's.

    Kaplan, from an earlier post of mine regarding sata2 hdds - I have them plugged into the sata1&2 ports, installed the nvidia raid first and then installed winxp (in both raid 0 and raid 1).  My bios is 3.1 and its a known problem that bios 3.3 & 3.4 have nvidia raid problems but seems to be fixed in the beta bios 3.53:
    I just purchased 2 hitachi deskstar sata2 80gb hdds ($60 each at zzf) and the interesting thing about them is that you have to "enable" sata2.  I have been testing the performance of sata1, sata2, raid1 and raid0 and the results are below.   
    The drives themselves are factory default set at sata1. Since I purchased OEM, no software or instructions were included.  I had to go to the hitachi website download section to download a dos based program (the features program) to enable sata2.  After enabling the hdds to sata2, they were recognized in winxp in the nforce ADMA controller device driver and the screen reads with the primary channel as Serial ATA Generation 2 - 3G...and all 4 boxes below it are checked (the boxes enable bios select xfer mode, enable read caching, enable write caching and enable command queuing are checked).  An interesting thing about the sata2 spec is that all sata2 hdds must come standard with NCQ...its not advertised on these 80 gb hdds on the hitachi website (unlike the larger hitachi sata2 hdds) but its a standard sata2 spec and these 80gb hitachi hdds are recoginized in winxp as sata2.
    The other interesting feature about the hitachi sata2 hdds is setting them up to operate in an adjustable "performance" to "silence" mode.  The hdds are default set at high perfromance but you can manually lower the performance to increase the silence of the hdds which is fully adjustable to your liking.  I tested the highest silence/lowest performance setting and you cannot hear the hard drive at all. 
    Testing - I tested the 2 hitachi sata2 deskstars with the first result in sata1 mode, the second in sata2 mode, the third in raid1 mode and the fourth in raid0 mode.
    First, a significant increase in raid0 over sata1, sata2 and raid1 with sequential reads and writes (PC Wizard).
    Write: 28mb/s vs 29mb/s vs 27mb/s vs 53mb/s
    Read: 45mb/s vs 46mb/s vs 43mb/s vs 83mb/s
    Second, significant increase in sata 2, raid 1 & raid 0 over sata1 with buffered reads and writes (PC Wizard).
    Write: 104mb/s vs 176mb/s vs 165mb/s vs 266mb/s
    Read: 123mb/s vs 200mb/s vs 200mb/s vs 293mb/s
    Third, significant increase in sata 2, raid 1 & raid 0 over sata1 with burst reads (HD Tach).
    Burst Read: 133mb/s vs 225mb/s vs 219mb/s vs 334 mb/s
    It is interesting to note that raid1 is better than sata1 but marginally slower in all tests over sata2.  Raid0 is significantly faster on all tests.   

  • How to install Linux on Sun Blade 2000

    hi,all.
    There is a sun blade 2000 workstation in our lab.And my teacher ask me to install a Linux OS instead of the Solaris8 which is preinstalled in this machine.This thing is very difficult to me,for I am not only a new to Linux,but also a totally freshman to Sun OS and its Hardware.
    I have only installed a Fedora 11 in my x86 machine.But i dont know how the sparc architecture working and how to start my installation,even include how and where to boot from installation CD.
    Please tell me what the step of installation and how to do.Furthemore,please recommend a Linux distribution suitable for the blade 2000.
    Thank you very much.

    If you never ever worked with Linux then Debian is not really the OS you want to choice first, don't get me wrong its very good, but i think Ubuntu which is based on it is more user friendly
    Ubuntu has also a Sparc version and a forum for Sun Sparc users.
    http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=146
    some issues related to the type of server you have : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588088
    Then you have also the question if you want to install the server edition or the desktop version?
    for example dapper server is available here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/dapper/daily/current/dapper-server-sparc.iso

  • How to install linux on 2010 MBA?

    Thoughts?  Other threads?

    If you don't have demanding 3D requirements, virtualization is probably your best option.  Installing Linux natively is a little more involved and unfortunately not supported using BootCamp.  VirtualBox from Oracle (previously SUN) is free and fully functional.  It's not quite as polished as Parallels or Fusion... but both of those options are relatively expensive.  If you're comfortable running Linux, you probably have more than limited computer knowledge, so you would probably be fine with VirtualBox. 
    If you want to go natively, Ubuntu has a support section just for Macs.  They do seem to be referring to Macs with internal drives, but I would think the process should work if you create a USB Startup Disk using the Ubuntu utility.  I know most Ubuntu distros have the Start Up Disk utility... but I'm not sure about other distros (Red Hat, SUSE, etc)

  • How to install 11.5.10 on VMWare with Windows 2003 Server?

    Need help on installing 11.5.10 on VMWare which runs Windows 2003 Server.
    I've XP Pro laptop with 2GB RAM and 80GB HDD and external HD with 250GB. Gathered all required s/w for installation.
    The Win 2003 Server VMWare is sitting on the external HD. I want to install pre-req s/w along with 11.5.10 on the VMWare.
    (1) How do I make the laptop's CD drive and HD visible to the VMWare?
    (2) Can I use the XP laptop HD as staging area and install on VMWare on external HD?
    (3) What are the disadvantages/risks of using the external HD for both staging and actual installation?
    Any help is appreciated.
    FYI - we already have an Oralce 11.5.9 on VMWare. All services are up and running. Able to logon to SQL*Plus and EBS home page. The issue is, we are not able to connect to this Oralce VMWare image from other VMWare image(Siebel), ie, if we do a telnet to oracle vmware image connection establishes and closes immediately. No clue on why this is happening. But this is not happening when we did telnet from a vmware image(plain win 2003 server) that does not have Siebel. All vmware images work fine individually.
    Any inputs?
