Would you like to select drivers now?" If I  choose a device, or just go ahead with installation, I get to Disk  Partitioning Setup. When I ask for automatic partitioning, I get this  message: "No Drives Found: An error has occurred. No valid devices were  found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware  for the cause of this problem." Then installation fails.
