Sata siI3112 install

[rsmits]

Hello,

I have an A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with a siI3112 raidcontroller.
When I try to install fedora, it sees one big raid volume of 320 GB. I have two 160GB disks and raidvolume is disabled. (just two disks)
I have a ntfs partition on disk 1. But it just sees one big 320GB volume ?

When I had a raid0 volume in the past, it showed the same.

When I install Linux now, the ntfs will be wiped. (I'm pretty sure of this :-)

Does anyone has a clue what to do so I can keep a ntfs partition on this disk. (Should I unplug one disk when I install Linux maybe ?)

Greetings.... Richard

not sure but i think there are some linux install options that might help

Are you sure the BIOS raid is disabled ? Doesn;t seem likely.
Boot the live-CD and see what is says.

Use the "nodmraid" option when starting the installation: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/fc6/en/sn-bootoptions-hardware.html#sn-bootoptions-hwdetection
