Hello, Yep, I was probably too hasty to draw conclusions. This is the long version what happened. I took the normal amd_64 bit desktop distro from Ubuntu site and made usb startup disk out of that. Then I booted without any options. At point when "install" was offered I opted that and found my way until partman was supposed to show the available partitions - well nothing there. Then I booted second time and opted booting up the system w.o. install. All ok and when the system was up I opened terminal and gave "dmraid -ay" which activated raids. As third step I tried "install" from desktop - I found my way to disc partitions which were visible now - however installer didn't allow me to install the system to wanted existing partition nor it offered correctly swap. So - I could not install the system that way either. BTW deleting the raids is not a good option as my system is dual-boot and I am running win7 there.
Currently the linux partitions are in unusable state. I can boot the usb startup and do the mount as described. Then I have the option to untar the 804 backup again and get to starting point. Please let me know what info you need - I am now pretty well prepared to dig into system. Br Pekka On 27.9.2010 18:06, Phillip Susi wrote: > I'm not sure why you came to that conclusion.
