Hi everyone i'm new to ubuntu (and linux for that matter) and I throw myself at your mercy:
I had a computer with windows XP x64 on an NTFS RAID 1 (mirror) array, as well as three other fat32 drives (one with windows XP installed on it)
Fed up with the lack of support for XP x64 which dried up really as soon as the OS was released I decided to install ubuntu as a dual boot, with the idea of migrating to linux idc (i mainly use my vista laptop nowadays)
I tried the CD version and everything worked fine. I was able to browse my NTFS file on my RAID drive, for example.
Since then I've installed ubuntu but immediately afterwards i couldn't mount my NTFS RAID drive at all. I also can't boot to windows XP x64 either! I really can't get at the data on this drive.
To make matters worse my wife now tells me there are some pictures of our children when they were just born on this drive that we don't have elsewhere... she'd put them on the mirror RAID because she thought that was the safest place for them.:cry:
i read the thread below which suggested using the boot info script. please find this attached. the first two 250GB drives are the mirror RAID
I've not enjoyed this experience at all: any help appreciated.

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below
## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs
## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=8e7e6228-7856-4eac-96ec-2de77cb25ed3 ro
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=8e7e6228-7856-4eac-96ec-2de77cb25ed3
## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash
## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false
## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
## e.g. indomU=detect
## indomU=true
## indomU=false
# indomU=detect
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false
## ## End Default Options ##
