Installing Ubuntu Server 14.04 on a Dell Optiplex 360

[John Kim(Kim, John)]

Hi Jim,


This is past that part, I think.  In the selection menu for partitioning the installation disk, it only displays sda5, the flash drive.  There are no other drives.

I presume you are pressing F12 for the "Boot once" menu and then selecting USB Flash drive in which case the only drive you should see is the USB stick. The destination drive will be chosen later.

Hi everyone,


I was trying to install a USB stick image onto an old Optiplex but the only drive that the installer detects is the USB stick itself.


lspci reports the controller as an ICH7 variety and dmesg shows that the Hitachi 2gb disk is detected as /dev/sda.


Can someone please help?


Thanks in advance!
