I recently downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 but I haven't installed it yet. The problem is I lost the hard drive that I used to run Ubuntu distros on. My W7 install is on a Raid1 drive. I have a partition on that drive that I have considered installing Ubuntu on but I have doubts as to whether it will install on a Raid drive. It has always read my Raid as being 2 separate drives in the past. Does anybody know if it will install correctly or not?

I have a Via VT8237 Raid Controller.

I have Ubuntu installed on a Raid 1 array. It installs quite easily. You just need to use the advanced installation disk instead of the regular install/live disk.

Ok I'll look for that. Thank you.

Hi dfc106, have you tried simulating a failed drive. Because my Raid 1 will not boot to Ubuntu if I unplug any of the drives, I have 2 drives. Thanks.
