I'm a complete dummy when it comes to RAID but regarding Easy-BCD it must be version 2.0.2:
http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1
And Ubuntu's grub must be installed to the Ubuntu partition containing "/boot". So we'd need to know what Ubuntu's partitioning arrangement is.
The easiest way to gather the needed info would be to post the output of the Boot Info Script as described here:
http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
Still haven't gotten this solved! I am using the latest version of EasyBCD and grub is installed to /boot.
Here is my bootinfoscript: I put it in a PHP box to make it easier to read :).
Please note that I was experimenting and added WindowsXP to grub 2 though it does not currently work I just haven't removed it yet in the hopes I can use EasyBCD instead.
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
