Hi, I am currently with Wubi 10.04 under Vista and my Dell XPS 630i has a 1 TB Nvidia RAID controller.
Here are my BootInfo output, as well as my fdisk -l output:

It seems that Ubuntu is seeing the RAID, so I should be able to install 11.04 on it.
In fact, I have booted live and simulated the space allocation.
Here are two images of it:
[IMG]http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h327/jaezcurra/th_Pantallazo1.png[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h327/jaezcurra/th_Pantallazo2.png[/IMG]
First image (Option A) suggests /dev/sda as device for boot loader installation, while second image (Option B) suggests /dev/mapper/nvidia_bcidhdja.
I think that the way of keeping the RAID would be using Option B as the device for boot loader installation. Would Option A break the RAID instead?
Any suggestion?
