Whats wrong is that I have been trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn x64 onto one of my hard drives that is on a RAID Card/IDE Controller Card. Now first off I'll admit I do not know much to anything about RAID configurations as I have never had experience with them.
So this is how my setup goes:
AMD 3800+ x64 Dual Core 2.0 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M61VME-S2
On the 1 IDE port on my Motherboard:
(Primary) DVD-+RW
(Slave) 80 Gb IDE HDD
(2 partitions, 40 NTFS w/ Windows XP Pro, 40 NTFS w/ Windows Vista Ultimate x64)
IDE Controller Card (Syba ATA8212-133R):
(Primary) 40 GB HDD (2 partitions, 20 GB ext2, 20GB fat32, no OS yet :()
(Slave)250 GB HDD (1 partition NTFS, no OS, for backup space only)
Graphics Chip: NVIDIA GeForce 6100
Network (I think thats what it is): nForce 400
Now to the problem,
first off when booting on the Ubuntu live CD I get quite a few errors, such as freezing and a bunch of other text, and it takes a long while to boot (compared to my older 1.5 GHz desktop which boots the Ubuntu live CD in about 1 minute). I do get to the live CD though, but when I go to install, the partition manager does not see any of the drives on my IDE Controller card, and therefore I can't install to the right partition. Now I have used the GParted Live CD and it reads it just fine as well as Windows.
So in short, I'm asking how do I get Ubuntu to recognize my IDE controller card so I can install to it.
