I'm not sure why but Ubuntu has always killed my Gigabyte RAID 0
Every time I've tried to install even to a different drive it flags one of my RAID drives as non-raid. I've tried installing ubuntu from 7.0-10.10.
In the good times, I powered everything down for 20-30 seconds and the RAID came up happy.
In the bad times, I spent lets see, about $240 for software and countless days painfully recovered all my stuff off of netgear's sc101 net drive (bastards dont support win7)... because one stupid flag was set that my 2 500Gb RAID 0's drives was not part of the RAID.
So after installing and reinstalling winxp and win7 for 2-3 days... I'm back here on an xp semi-working installation.
THIS IS A BUG SOMEWHERE... maybe the motherboard, maybe the BIOS, but I can't really install Ubuntu until it's fixed.
I'm currently running Win XP (a recovered installation) and currently recovering my raid off of backup because ubuntu flagged one of my hardrives as not part of the raid.
Here's my system:

4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4800 series
1 200GB (primary) hard drive maxtor
2 500GB maxtor raid 0 hard drives (my old xp system used to boot off of these as C: but now since I installed win 7 they are secondary drives)
phenom II X6 1090T (woot!)
ubuntu always negates and flags my RAID0 as bad...
I stop installing when that happens :(
Thanks,
Jaman
