Wanting to dual boot XP with UBUNTU.
Live CD verified good.
ran df in terminal:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ df

/dev/sda4 266235904 308799487 21281792 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Originally I had two partitions for Windows xp of 100 gig each. I cleared / backed up the second partition and created two 50 gig partitions, splitting the second into two linux (using Gparted) partitions labelled root and swap.
Disk Utility sees this hdd as a RAID component. It is connected through a RAID controller.
The installer (in allocate drive space step) doesn't see them for some reason.
Hardware:
AMD Athlon 64+clawhammer processor
Asus A8N-SLI mobo
hdd as above
2 Gig RAM
DVD / CD Burner
Any help is appreciated
