In my case, I had two WD 160GB SATA HDD's that had been part of a Asus/Promise raid configuration on another system, that I wanted to reuse again on newer systems used for Ubuntu/Windows dual boot. I had to both go back and use the BIOS raid setup on that older system to remove them from the raid configuration, and then run "sudo dmraid -r -E /dev/sda" afterwards from an UBUNTU CDROM bootup window to completely clean these disks up before the UBUNTU installer would recognise and use them. Even running a "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" before hand did not clean out whatever metadata gets installed by the raid controller on these disks. Only the Ubuntu installer had this issue, Windows XP did not apparently care about the raid metadata.
