I hope you al are doing fine. I have always wanted to use ubuntu as my main os but has always failed to install it on my fake raid 0. I have been using ubuntu via a virtual machine when it should be the other way round.
I have tried so many times. I have had trouble installing the grub or something. I am not that good at coding or whatever, but at least I can follow instructions properly. So, if anyone can help me get it working without losing any of my data on another raid 0.
First of all though, I need to understand how to format and arrange my hard drive for a proper bootloader, cache or whatever is being needed for the os and all the rest to perform properly.
Secondly, is about the grub thing. I have followed many tutorials but I always felt am missing something or lack some knowledge to tackle the issue.
If you need information about my pc, its an intel dg45id, xeon l5420, 8gb ram, 2*raid 0 (160gb*2-os & 1tb*2-docs), radeon 7790hd.
Note: both raids are set up using utilities from motherboard at boot.
I wish ubuntu could be easier to install or use but I won't ask more than just a little help for now especially that all this is open source and more reliable.
A step by step assistance would be better. Add me on skype (starrdhm - Heman Mankoo) if need be.
Thank you, Heman
