Title: Install new drives, they are not showing up. New/Old computers.
Post by: jesterdev on April 29, 2018, 08:10:04 PM

I've not installed drives since the days of IDE Master/Slave. I just picked up a bunch of computers at a government surplus auction, Dell T3500 workstations. I decided to cluster a bunch of them but I'm having
issues with them recognizing a secondary HD. The drives are good, tested and working but only the first drive shows up on all of the computers. The bios also only shows the one drive. DVD shows up also.

I have the drives on ports SATA0, SATA1. I can boot and install an OS (Linux Light) and everything is fine otherwise. I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing, but I can certainly install a drive, to me at least it seems pretty straight forward. Or at least I thought....   

In the Bios I it tried ATA and Legacy with no luck, I don't remember the first option, but that didn't work either.

Hi,

So, this is a cluster issue, not 'Linux Lite' issue?
If I understood correctly
