installer does not see hard drives, shows raid array instead

[Guest]

hey all im new here, been using another distro for a while and thought about trying out kubuntu. I'm trying to install it on my 2nd sata drive in this computer, there are only 2 sata hdd's , the first drive is currently being used by my other distro and i am trying to get kubuntu installed on the other drive and dual boot. i tried the 10.04 amd64 livecd to install and every time ubiquity checks my disks it finds my external hard drive and a raid array made up of my to sata drive's. i can go into the konsole and fdisk both drives and the 1st shows my 3 linux partitons for the other distro and the 2nd drive i created one large linux partition trying to get the installer to see that the 2 drives are different. i can mount the partitions on the 1st drive and they show attached as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb in dmesg log. also when i tried to boot the livecd with the nodmraid option (under F6 during bootup), i get the same result in the konsole as before, i can see the drives in fdisk and i can mount them. But in the installer it only show's the external drive now. Any ideas would be great, i posted the sda, sdb portion of my dmesg below. Thanks in advance.

Anyday

Re: installer does not see hard drives, shows raid array instead

Are you using the GUI based livecd?

You might try the Alternate Install CD - it has more tools and less candy...
