I have a new Dell Latitude laptop with an Opal compliant Hardware FDE SSD. When installing Ubuntu 12.04.2 it fails to write to the disk. I get the following error:
Partition Disks
Input/output error during write on /dev/sda
ERROR!!!
Now, if my understanding is correct, hardware FDE shouldn't be making any difference here given it should be transparent to Ubuntu? Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? The disk currently has Windows 7 on it (which I would like to replace with Ubuntu).
