Internal disk not recognized ubuntu
Solved
Hello,
A few months ago, my hard drive died, RIP. I've been running on a USB stick since then. Miracle, I recently got an external hard drive. When I tried to install it, my dead hard drive was blocking everything (disk impossible to mount, the live CD searched endlessly), so I decided to remove it.
I now have an external hard drive that I would like to place internally, to install Ubuntu as well. I disassembled everything, set it up... I booted it up and nothing appears in the workstation. How can I get the disk recognized?
Computer: Easynote ML65
Old hard drive: Momentus 5400.4, 250GB, S-ATA II
External drive: Hitachi HTS543232A7A384. It is in NTFS, with 10MB used and the rest free
SATA host adapter: ICH9M/M-E SATA AHCI Controller
Thank you in advance
Best regards

This, knowing that I removed the disk, it was connected via USB at the time of the command. Should I reinstall it back in?

re,
well yes and you press escape and you enter the BIOS to see if the disk is recognized and then you boot from the USB drive and type the command

You need to enter the commands that I asked you with the disk connected as it will be in the end. And don't forget to report back the result of the second command.
The disk is recognized in the BIOS
So I started it up but impossible, even though the boot was set to my USB key; I removed the disk, booted from the USB key, and then put the disk back. It's bad to do it while running, but I had no choice. Apparently, my disk is recognized this time in my workstation (weird)
Here is the result
That being said, I will try to install on the disk right away. I will keep you updated.

It crashes because in your BIOS, the hard drive is probably prioritized over the USB key. So since there’s no bootable system on the hard drive, it crashes. You need to change the boot sequence in your BIOS so that the USB is prioritized over the hard drive.

If you want to install Ubuntu via an installation CD, make sure to place the CD-ROM drive first as well. If you go with this type of installation, burn an installation CD, check the md5 sum, then reboot from the CD. Remember to unplug the USB key.

Then there’s nothing left but to install normally on this disk.
If you don’t have a CD drive or don’t wish to use a CD, you can also do an installation via USB.

Good luck.

The BIOS was configured like this since the crash of the old HDD
1 CD
2 USB stick
3 HDD
4 etc...
And I rebooted 2 times, just in case, but it remained stuck on the blinking cursor (whereas booting from the disk caused the computer to restart endlessly)
Anyway, I was able to install Ubuntu without any problems on my disk, I still don't know the initial error but it doesn't matter.
Thank you for your quick responses and sorry for taking your time for a problem that resolved itself.
I'm marking it as resolved, thanks again!
