I have acquired a Lenovo Think Center minipc that has a 500GB hdd inside it. I stuck a Linux distro install USB on it and it couldn't detect the internal drive. The only thing I can think of is that the drive was wiped and never reformatted as anything. I'm going to test this theory out with a Debian live iso and run fdisk to see if the block device shows up. If so I'll just format it for Linux and then run the installer. Thoughts?
