comment I am having trouble booting 12.04 keyboard and little man in circle appears and then nothing
The asus tech suggested trying the drives in another box, which I did. Both of them failed to "IDENTIFY" at post time. RMA completed and new drives from other company and manufacturer on way, including a solid state model.

I tried this one as opposed to the AHCI drivers they have and actually got a disk to show in the result box... with the admonition that it can't install to that disk (it shows 0 bytes unallocated space) with a total size of 0. The other disk doesn't show... so I suspect it is as you surmise... the disks do not have any mbr ... I will try your idea. I think I can create a recover cd on one of our boxes and use it here. Thanks for the tip

I made a small amt of progress in that until this evening, it just wouldn't do anything. I reread the mobo manual and it suggested that a certain driver must be installed first... the JMBX36 controller driver.

haven't tried that. I have been using a full (as opposed to upgrade) product cd. It gets to the point where it wants to load onto one of the hard drives but can't find any. It offers a button that will allow you to load drivers. I am trying to load the drivers.

asus replied. they claim they don't support it. I have tried windows 7 now. It doesn't install either. :-|

I will give it a try. I held the shift key down and got the menu ... I am running the memory test now. I will try your suggestion tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with me on this.

another data point. I got a copy of win7 and tried to boot with it as well. It loads up to a point where it asks for drivers for the sata (these are seen in the bios, btw). I downloaded the latest, but for some reason, it can't load them... at least off the usb mem drive.

I mounted the iso image on a 11.04 system and used the startup disk creator. I have not been able to get that to work as a boot device.

I have downloaded several times.. burning on different media (dvd and cdrom). I have used the cdrom to launch ubuntu on a different system. That seems to work. As to the compatibility, none of my systems that run ubuntu are on that list.
