| Andrio | If a PC has an SSD and three HDDs connected, `ls /dev/sd*` should show them all, right? | 05:49 |
|---|---|---|
| flocculant | Andrio: it does here | 06:37 |
| Andrio | mm | 06:49 |
| Andrio | On this thing it's showing only /dev/sda and /dev/sda1, which is the flash drive I booted off of. | 07:36 |
| flocculant | Andrio: fdisk shows them all? | 07:38 |
| Andrio | Nope. That only shows /dev/loop0 and /dev/sda | 07:40 |
| Andrio | Also the drives don't seem to spin up when I turn on the computer. | 07:43 |
| flocculant | well that'll be why they aren't showing up - check hardware - check they're visible in bios etc | 07:45 |
| Andrio | I'm trying to work out how to do that... it's trying to boot before the display turns on | 07:47 |
| * Andrio mashes all the F keys. | 07:48 | |
| flocculant | oh that's fun ... try all the favourites - maybe try the pause button | 07:48 |
| flocculant | and of course mash all the F keys :p | 07:48 |
| flocculant | and Del | 07:49 |
| flocculant | and I've seen some where Enter ... | 07:49 |
| Andrio | So there are two SATA3 ports and four SATA2 ports, and the BIOS thinks only one has anything (the DVD drive) connected. | 07:52 |
| flocculant | so that's the why then ... I would first off - unplug them all and reconnect - check there's no crud anywhere. I would also be wondering about the power - assuming DVD is using the old school power connector | 07:54 |
| Andrio | SSD works when transplanted into my other PC using the existing cables from that PC | 07:58 |
| flocculant | ok - so check the non-functioning cables in the other PC - prove/disprove those | 08:00 |
| Andrio | Turns out the SATA power cables weren't actually connected to the power supply. | 08:01 |
| flocculant | ... | 08:01 |
| flocculant | :D | 08:01 |
| Andrio | heh? | 08:01 |
| flocculant | that's good then | 08:01 |
| Andrio | I guess so, yeah. | 08:01 |
| flocculant | well it could have been nasty ;) | 08:02 |
| Andrio | The drives seem to be part of a RAID. | 08:41 |
| Andrio | In a desktop PC | 08:41 |
| Andrio | Trying to see whether I can look at the data on it | 08:44 |
