Since this doesn't describe a bug in ubuiquity, I am closing it. For general
advice, help, troubleshooting tips, or commiseration, you may want to head over
to the ubuntu forums.

Phillip,
Who wants to watch the football?
Spent some time with the wife of almost 50 years and then here I am again.
Understanding the wonderful world of computers I booted off the USB and
tried another install onto the ssd.
Went like a rocket, no errors about applications, just reboot and go.
Phillip,
This is the end of this thread, but just to know where things are
heading..
With Linux on about 40% of the HDD and the SDD totaly unused I tackled the
Realtek driver problem.
Found a good link on the web and built and installed the required driver. All
good, wifi up and going.

Phillip,
Chased around and fiddled. Finally rebooted and applied dmraid -r -E.
Cleared flags on two disks.

Created a smaller partition for swap.
Tried an install via ubiquity.
Long paiuse and then a "where are you?" form appeared (on the bottom a guage
with "detecting file systems" at 100%.

Phillip,
Chased around the web, read the FakeRaidHowTo and also a good article on
setting up "fakeraid" when building an "arch" Linux system.
Performed a bootload from the USAB, invoked dmraid and had a look
around.
I have an Intel Software raid (isw), SSD and HDD, etc.
Had a look at things wit
If Windows isn't actually using the fakeraid ( and it won't if you don't
have an Intel chipset supporting Intel Matrix Storage ), then it won't
miss the raid signatures. If it is, then yes, removing them would
render Windows unbootable.

Phillip,
Found dmraid, will have to read the "man pages", install on usb, etc.
I presume that fiddling with the raid will probably destroy win 7.
Hopefully I can setup things so the ssd can be used and put the Linux OS
and perhaps swap partition/file on that.
I have had a quick surf looking for
Phillip,
Thanks for the informative response.
The U840W was delivered with win7 which is still operational. I have
done nothing to the basic setup.
I know nothing of fakeraid.
There is nothing in the BIOS that configs/tweaks the disk set up in any
way.
Where would I utilise the "dmraid" comman
It appears that you have used these drives in the past as part of an
Intel fakeraid, and I am guessing you had the SSD set up to cache the
HDD, which is unsupported in Linux. Simply disabling the fakeraid
support in the bios leaves the raid signatures on the drive. You will
need to remove these i
Phillip,
I am not sure if this will be of any help but I burnt a copy of CentOS
which I think is based on RedHat onto a USB.
Tried to bootload and install. Simply hung.
CentOS has a text mode boot/install option so I selected that and though
I have no means of capturing the data or stopping it w

Thanks for the response, file attached.
