Can I get someone to help me out on this issue. I have tried several tutorials but I am having an issue somewhere along the line. I just brought another 1TB hard-drive and installed it in my system. Because I already had Ubuntu running on the hard-drive installed I couldn't use the motherboard raid. So I started the path of trying to use the Ubuntu Raid. All tutorials that I have tried just doesn't work out for me a some point and I am guess its because my hard-drive is partitioned as follows:



Partition 1 /dev/sda1 EXT4 Mounted at Filesystem Root
Partition 2 /dev/sda2 Extended and with in this container there is:
Partition 5 /dev/sda5 Linux swap I believe its /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 as this is showing under other devices but its the same size 8 GB
Partition 6 /dev/sda6 W95 FAT32 mounted at /windows
Partition 3 /dev/sda3 EXT4 mounted at /media/mistaquade/VMHOST
Partition 4 /dev/sda4 EXT4 not mounted

Any help is greatly appreciated.
