Seagate 3TB Hard Drive

I recently purchased a Seagate 3TB hard drive. I primarily wanted the device for my Ubuntu 12.04 machine, the drive did not however show up. Of course it showed up straight away on Windows 7.

In order to get this drive working you need to do:

1.  sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

2. Change the line

"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to:
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=nomsi"

and reboot.
