Ubuntu 14.04, Windows and HDD issues
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2015 12:40 am
Here is the issue:
I have a computer in which the hard drive has some issues and Windows cannot be installed because during installation hard drive cannot be detected. Without detecting it, I cannot control or format partitions.
So in order to use the computer I had to find an alternative. I got Ubuntu 14.04 installed to an external drive which allows me to use the computer.
The goal is to make the hard drive work correctly again so I can install Windows back onto it.
I need some sort of program for Ubuntu/Linux that can forcefully detect the internal drive and allow me control once again to format, or mess with partitions.
I also have no clue how to use anything on Ubuntu, so any replies will have to have all possible details.
Thank you!
