Ubuntu cannot locate my hard drive (WD6402AAEX) during install. Hard drive works fine under Win7 x64. Bios and cabling is fine.

Am I missing something? I don't see Linux drivers on the WD website and nothing in the manually selecting list looks right. Does Western digital not run Linux?

  • Welcome to AU! What kernel version and chipset do you have? This is likely a chipset driver issue that's fixed in newer kernels. Please append the output of uname -a and lspci to your question. Hard drives generally don't have individual drivers on Linux or Windows. Oct 4, 2014 at 1:11

I figured it out. Seems like the 6Gbps SATA ports on my Asus Motherboard aren't recognized under Ubuntu. Moving the HDD to the regular SATA ports worked.
