Hey,

Currently I have windows 7 x64 installed on a pair of raided ssd's using an x58 motherboard(ich10r) and I want to duel boot ubuntu x64 (either 9.10 or 10.04) on another harddrive (not part of the raided ssd's). Does anyone know if this can be done? I haven't found anything out there about this. I have tried to install Ubuntu from the CD. It gets to the install screen booting from the CD, but it doesn't let me install or try Ubuntu. I hit enter and nothing happens. I can look through all of the options but can't install or boot into Ubuntu.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that I have my bios set to raid instead of AHCI or IDE and Ubuntu is having a problem with that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Try booting using the Alternate CD. It understands RAID systems.
