Wubi and raid = failure

lately i've been trying to get ubuntu back on my laptop but everytime i try when i reboot into it it gives me an error message about filesystem not set or something

i guess it has to do with my raid setup as i didn't saw this error befor

any one seen or encountered a such problem or know how to get past it

 

What are you running it on? What RAID configuration? Drives?

I think the problem is something to do with RAID controller drivers.

WUBI uses Windows to make an "installation" of Ubuntu on a Windows Filesystem. The Windows installation can see the RAID controller and the volume just fine.

Depending on when the RAID controller and RAID volume is initialized, the computer and the WUBI installation of Ubuntu may not be able to recognize the volume that contains the disk image of Wubi Ubuntu.

Since it is kind of a hard drive encapsulated in a hard drive, not really sure if there is much you can do here. Just for fun, you could try it on an additional hard drive that is NOT part of a RAID volume using the onboard hard drive controller.

Is there any particular reason you are using WUBI and not a separate Ubuntu partition?

 

well i forgot to set a separate partition when i reinstaled window so i don't have a space to set a ubuntu partition

but i might try to set one on my upcomming 16gb sd card

 

You should be able to use GPartEd from a live CD to make a partition for Ubuntu at the "end" of the drive. This wouldn't affect Windows or the bootloader.

Once you install Ubuntu to that partition, the installation should automatically detect the Windows install. If you chose to install the Ubuntu/Linux Bootloader (GRUB) to the MBR it would detect and add the option for Windows.

 

i'm not to much into the gparted thingy last time i tried resizing a partition i lost all my data

 

installing to the sd card failed as wubi so i guess i'll have to partition my sd card and leave a partition for my camera and ready speed boost
