Linux XBMCbuntu ASRock E350M1 Hard drive detection

Specs
ASRock E350M1/USB3
4GB RAM
500GB Sata 2

I attempt to install XBMCUbuntu via CD. I get to the stage of the install where XBMC requires a destination to install, no drives are displayed, completely blank. I have tried swapping SATA cables, hard drives, re-downloaded iso, nothing seems to work. I headed over to the BIOS, reset all to default. I have noticed a few people have successfully installed XBMC on this config.

As a test i have successfully install Windows 7 onto the drive, all seems AOK.

Help anyone?

I have the same mobo and installed succesfully by USB.
Maybe you should give that a try.

Had no problems with detecting hard drives

USB 2.0 version of that board. Set it to IDE a long time ago and booting problems disappeared.
