I am replying to an old thread which described the same or similar
problem that I had. I have a solution which may be useful to store in
the mailing list archives. The thread started with this message:

I have Dell Latitude E6230 and the same problem: The installer boots and
I can choose country and language settings. Then the installer tries to
detect and mount the installer drive but fails to detect it. I confirmed
that in installer's console: command "ls /dev" lists only the main hard
disk device files /dev/sda and its partitions.

The solution that worked for me: I removed the installer USB stick and
inserted it again. Then the installer finds the device and proceeds with
the install. Technically there is now device file /dev/sdb and its
partitions.
