Nothing wrong with where you put that post. And good job for a first post adding the inxi info.
Don't know why you haven't got a reply, maybe no one knows ? (doubtful)
Re, your other post did you try more than one disk ? I'm thinking maybe can't read that particular one.

Hello, newnewbe.
Sometimes new threads do not receive a first reply within a timely fashion and start dropping down in the list of unanswered posts. Cf. unanswered topics.
In such a case, you should wait for roughly 24 hours. Then you might bump your own topic to the top of the list once by replying to your own post.
Either you can add a relevant detail which you had not mentioned in your initial post, yet.
Or you simply write "Bump" in your reply.
In case bumping your topic this way does not result in any replies still, you might start asking yourself, whether you have presented your problem / question in such a way that your intended audience may have serious difficulties in understanding what your message really is.
Best regards,
Karl
Hm. Well. Such things happen. Not your fault.
