    When installing Linux from USB, the installer does not see the hard drive. The problem is identical when trying to install Ubuntu and Mint. I booted the pendrive with the Universal USB Installer.

    It's old hardware, and that's why it wants Linux.
    Fujitsu Esprimo P2530 with a changed processor.
    1GB RAM DDR2
    Core 2 Duo E6300
    Disk: HDD WD 200GB
    Bios sees the drive and Windows installs flawlessly.

    And I use an ATA to SATA adapter, but when connecting another drive directly with a SATA cable, the effect is the same.

    BTW: for the future, in command fdisk between -l and / dev / sda there should be a space ...

    [0.000000] DMI: FUJITSU SIEMENS ESPRIMO EDITION P2530 / D2740-A2, BIOS 6.00 R1.02.2740.A2 05/09/2008

    First, update the BIOS to 6.00.1.06 (12/01/2009) - click here:
    http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/IndexDownload.asp -> Product Search -> P2530 -> | BIOS | -> + Flash - BIOS for D2740-A2x ...

    Later, test again in AHCI and IDE modes and, if necessary, upload photos of all SATA @ nForce 630i controller settings

    BTW: write the marking / device models connected to the SATA ports, something is there:

    [27.616048] ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1)
    [27.616054] ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I / O error, err_mask = 0x4)
    [27.616087] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
    [27.616091] ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I / O error, err_mask = 0x4)
    [27.930628] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
    [27.930680] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)

    After updating the BIOS and setting the SATA Controller Mode to Enhanced and Silent Mode to Silent, the installer sees the partitioned disk and the DVD drive.
