Hi all,
Here is the situation. I have two SATA drives in a RAID 0 array. The array uses the motherboard onboard nForce4 controller, so it's fakeraid, I presume.
I have Windows XP installed on one partition, with another partition being used by Windows for documents, etc. Both use NTFS.
There is about 80GB of unpartitioned space available, upon which I would like to install Ubuntu Studio 8.04.
My difficulty is that when installing from the DVD, the Partition Manager doesn't detect the RAID array, just the two individual SATA hard disks.
After spending a fair time searching, I found the FakeRaidEdgy (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidEdgy) guide, and tried following that; unfortunately it didn't work for me right from the "type dmesg | tail to reveal the device name of the stick" point. I suppose it's out of date, but I don't know for sure.
Would someone please be good enough to give me an explanation of what I need to do, along with how I need to do it?
Thanks,
Leggie
