I'm installing debian on an Acer Aspire 1 D257 notebook for someone, and the installer won't recognise the hard disk.

all i get from the installer is "No disk drive was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your disk drive, you can select it from the list." followed by a selectable list of mostly-ancient drivers, all irrelevant.

you may try the bios setting for the sata mode in use. ahci mode may be more easily detected in debian
