Hi, I've tried searching the forums and google, but I cant find any info for my particular problem. Also, I'd like to apologize in advance for butchering all the lingo, I'm not too familiar with all the different types of partitions.
I have 2 hdd's in raid0 partitioned by my mobo's raid controller into 2 volumes with win7 installed on one of them. I'd prefer not to mess with that setup because I dont have an easy way of backing up all my stuff.
I partitioned off a chunk of unallocated space on one volume with the hopes of installing ubuntu on it as can be seen here. (http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc153/apaksl/computermanagement.jpg)
I'm having trouble going through the manual partition menu (12.04 64-bit, alternate install disk). I've never installed linux before, but I get the impression that the installer is only seeing one of my two drives even though I told it to enable raid. Here's a pic.

I would imagine it should either show two 1tb hdd's or show two volumes of differing size (one is 500gb, the other is 1.5tb), or even better, show my unallocated space of 300gb.
Thank you for reading and for any help :)
