installer didn't detect hard drive

[cariboo]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This happened while installing Karmic. I found a work around by mounting the drive I wanted to install on, the installer detected it was mounted and asked if it could umount it. It was then detected by the partitioning utility.

Oops, this isn't the computer I had a problem with, it was another system I have out in my shop.
