Thread: Ubuntu not recognizing my hard drives


so have 240gb ssd, 160gb 7200 hdd, , 2x1tb hdd in hardware raid 1. installed windows on 240gb drive. want install ubuntu 11.10 on 160gb drive.

downloaded 11.10 alternate iso. installer recognizes have raid configurationm , asks if i'd active raid. if yes or no, no drives found setup partitions on.

tried putting sata controller ahci mode still didn't help.

gparted able locate drives , partitions fine.

should go here?

if 160gb disk has been used in fakeraid before, has meta data leftovers. installer ignore it.

can remove meta data live mode in terminal by:

make sure use correct device /dev/sdx

sudo dmraid -e -r /dev/sdx

important: since have disks in fakeraid, make sure use above command on correct disk. if use on of raid disks break array.

also, make sure have disk plugged port doesn't belong raid function. 2 ports part of raid function. if have more on board, need 160gb disk in port without it.
