[Bug 995097] Re: Installer doesnt find my hardware and does not tell the user anything.

[sean]

Intel Core2Quad CPU Q6600 4GB
WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0

I tried 64 and 32bit desktop versions of 12.04.
I also tried using Wubi. 

It may be worth noting, The first time with 64bit, I clicked the little message asking me to connect to wifi, before doing anything with the install. 
The second time I did not, and was presented with the wifi in the installation screens. 

I tried running setup directly and from within ubuntu via the Try Ubuntu
option...

Title:
  Installer doesnt find my hardware and does not tell the user anything.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried to install it from the "Try Ubuntu" and I still never get this
  option it goes from "Welcome: choose language", to "Preparing to
  install Ubuntu" that gives me the option to download updates,
  "Wireless", and finally "Instillation type" which has the "Device for
  boot loader installation" and a blank table.

  None of the buttons: New Partition Table, Add, Change, Delete or Revert are clickable.
  There is a drop down list with /dev/sda in it, but that's it.

  There is nothing in the listbox above the buttons, and I was never asked what kind of installation I want to do.
  It just goes to Installation type.

  I had issues with Wubi earlier too, but now I'm trying to install from
  the cd.

  I'm going to try downloading 32bit and see if I can get anywhere.

  It might be helpful to know that I have windows 8 installed, but I was
  willing to wipe the drive... I just dont get the option
