Hi.

I want to install Ubuntu x86_64 or x86 to my computer.

I used Dekstop and Server Editions on other machines, installed succesfully but i could not install Ubuntu to my computer.

My hardwares are;

AMD Phenom II X4
Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4h [SB750 - AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller]
2 x 250GB Seagate ST3250410AS @ Raid0

I installed Windows succesfully and i created 50GB partition for Ubuntu.

I tried to install Ubuntu, but disks are not detected in partition managing screen.

Could you help me, how can i install ubuntu?

Edit : I searched Ubuntu forums and any other forums but i could not find a solution "without deleting raid arrays".

The AMD fake raid chip is not supported since they will not release their specifications.

Ummmm.

Thank you. I want to use Ubuntu but i think it is impossible now.

Maybe supported in 10.xx versions?

Not unless AMD releases their specifications. I contacted them a few months ago when I was thinking of getting a motherboard with that controller and they said they were thinking about releasing the specifications. I have not heard anything about it since though.

You can disable the fake raid and use the drives normally though.
