hi
MB m2a-vm
HDD: 2 hdd sata 250G each
Ubuntu 10.04 64b downloaded from site
in BIOS ive set sata IDE and ASCI - the same problem...
the hdd are partitioned as follow:
1 hdd : 4g unused space (made it for swp)
26G ntfs
50G ntfs
150G ntfs
2hdd: 230G ntfs
i want to install ubuntu on hdd 1 - 26G partition
now when i start the installer in partitions it shows me serial ata RAID pdc_cbac (stripe) ... 498G. i cant chose from dropdown any of the 2 hdd. when i enter manual partitioning it shows me the partition as i listed them, in a raid volume dev mapper pdc_cbac...
now i disabled 1 hdd in bios (2 one); i checked that is disabled trough a dos boot loader... it is... now when i enter install partition, the disabled hdd its still there and the raid volume same, unchanged.
why is this happening??
why cant i see my 2 hdd in partitioner drop down menu???
how can i install without physically taking out 2-nd hdd??
see the picture; the freespace at the mouse pinter is in fact a ntfs partition on hdd2, hdd that is disabled in bios
