[SOLVED] sudo blkid won't list My IDE Drives
Posted: Sun Mar 17, 2013 12:03 pm
I have a slightly older system that can run both IDE Drives and SATA drives.
I am trying to install mint on one of the IDE Drives, but I was going to zero it first.
I like to do
the strange thing is that it won't list them.
I am booting from a 'Live' USB stick.
I can "Mount", navigate, and view the files in Live Mint I Os I just booted from, but terminal and the above commands refuse to list them.
I've looked around and can't seem to find much. The only thing that I THOUGHT might be part of the problem is that in the BIOS I can enable IDE, and, Sata controllers and list which is Primary, secondary, or just leave it in an 'auto' configuration. I have disabled the SATA control (just for the moment) and have only 1 IDE drive connected, and listed the IDE controller as Primary and set the drive to "Master".
Still no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?
