Well, firstly thank you!

But could my HDD be too big. Does Linux (kubuntu) not support such big disks? Is there a limit? Because if that would be the case, it wouldn't be usefull for me to use Linux, since i want to install more 2TB HDDs (i have a little movie collection.. dvd's...)

But anyway, i'll try to do it like you told me.

So thanks!

And i'll try to look that XFS up to.

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm new using Linux, still I'm an oldtimer using Windows.

On my new system (HTPC) I installd a Western Digital 2TB (WD20EADS) Hard drive. The whole PC is brand new. The HDD is brand new. It was never formatted or partitioned.

For my new HTPC I choose to install LinuxMCE (Kubntu). I burned the dvd so far and boot the new HTPC with the new disc and all so far was working properly.

At the begining of the installation, it suddenly stops, and I become a black screen with following message (2 lines):

"Unable to seek on /dev/sda"
"Error: No hard drives found"

Maybe somebody can help with this issue.

My idea was to format the disk with windows (xp or vista) using NTFS. But only format the hdd without installing windows. Aftar that I would try to install linuxmce (kubuntu). Is this the solution to the problem or could there be anything else??? Is my hard drive to big (2TB)?

Please, I need some help fast!!!!

Tank you for your support!!!!


I forgot to tell, that my mainbord does recognize the Hard Drive!
