Ubuntu

can I install ubuntu 7.04 on a PC with a RAID 0 disk?

Asked by Jim Bushnell

I have an ABS PC with Windows XP. I want to install Ubuntu on it, but I think I have a problem with using the RAID 0 disk controller on the motherboard. Has anyone had similar experiences and solved them?

The problem may be connected with partitioning or Ubuntu not being able to read my RAID 0 configured disks.

Installing Ubuntu on a fakeRAID is not a simple operation. You may want to have a look at this guide:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto

If you are new to Linux I would definetively not recommend it.
Of course, if you have an additional disk you can install Ubuntu on that disk and install the fakeRAID support later on.

Thanks very much - I think I should forget about Ubuntu on my present computer, or buy another hard disk as was suggested.

Hi for all !
i have some problem and i hope you can help me to solve it :-)
i have computer with raid 0 working on it. the raid controller is SIL 3512 and MOBO is Gigabyte GA-K8NS939-Ultra.
I using the Silicon Image RAID 0 becose the SATA plags is in the good place on the MOBO and this raid is faster then NForce3 RAID.
The controller is working great and HDD's too. BUT
when i running the Ubuntu 7.04 LIVE CD is realy not seeing my hard drives. In Windows Installation i have to press F6 in the start of it and install RAID controller from floopy manualy.
How can i do that in Ubuntu ?
