sabayon cant find my OS [Solved]

[amandus]

I tried to install Sabayon, but it says that I do not have any partitions or another OS just that I have a hard drive that is empty. But it is not, there are Windows 8 on it, and I have make partitions with Gparted so everything is ready for install.

It is a 3,4 processor dual core and a sata disk with 500 gb and 8gb ram, I think it should be nice with Sabayon on it.

I have tried with Ubuntu and it says the same a all empty hard drive.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A GPT DISK, what is that?

Hi the installation find my hard drive but when It should initialize it this cane up:

Error processing drive:

/dev/sda
476940MB
ATA ST500DM002-1BD14

This device may need to be reinitialized.

REINITIALIZING WILL CAUSE ALL DATA TO BE LOST!

This action may also be applied to all other disks needing reinitialization.

I have WIndows 8 on it too, but it works just great.

GPT.

HOWTO: Install Sabayon with GRUB2 and GPT on a New System.

But it is not, there are Windows 8 on it, and I have make partitions with Gparted so everything is ready for install.

I haven't tested it but there's already an instruction here. Please don't blame me, if something goes wrong. If you're unsure, read about the topics in question before moving on!

Two topics merged. Please only post the same problem in one shed (forum) and one thread.
