    Raid-0, drive undetected

    I have a nvidia chipset motherboard. I have 1 IDE drive, with 2 partitions, XP and Kubuntu, and I have 2 SATA drives, in RAID-0, 1 partition with win 7. On those 2 drives (I will call it my win7 partition from now on), I have stored a lot of data (documents/music etc) wich I want to be able acces. However, this partition is not detected by kubuntu. It did detect the partition when I installed Kubuntu.
    I found a lot of topics on this forum with problems related to raid, but I haven't found the solution yet. Kubuntu does detect the win xp partition, but it doesn't detect the win 7 partition. I think this is raid related too. I haven't found raid drivers for Kubuntu/ubuntu/linux. Could that be the problem?

    EDIT:

    This is the output of sudo fdisk-l. I thought this is usefull information, I saw it in a lot of topics

    Dit lijkt niet op een partitietabel.
    Waarschijnlijk koos u een verkeerd apparaat.

      Re: Raid-0, drive undetected

      Thank you for your reply.

      I've read the document, but I didn't find information I could use. Maybe because my English isn't good enough. As far as I understood, it's about raid-1, mirroring, but my disks are striped, raid-0. Also it says that raid drives are recognized by the installer, and that would allow me to use them normally. They were recognized by the installer, but I still can't use them with Kubuntu. Still I can boot from them with grub.

      I installed version 10.10 a couple of days ago, I forgot to mention that in my first post.

      With information from the document I tried the following:
      Code:
      thijs@thijs-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo dmraid -tay
      nvidia_gjchheda: 0 3907050240 striped 2 128 /dev/sdc 0 /dev/sdb 0
      nvidia_gjchheda1: 0 3907045376 linear /dev/mapper/nvidia_gjchheda 2048
      I also found this:
      https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ho...yHardware\b%29

      I followed this and I will post the results here after a reboot.

      EDIT:

      This had no effect.
      However I think my drive is detected, because I can see the contents of the drive in the terminal.

      EDIT 2:

      I can access my drive and files within Dolphin. The contents are in the map /mount/raid0part that I created following the steps described on the web page I found. It still isn't detected as a drive.
      Now knowing how to access my files, my problem is solved. Though I would like to be able to select the drive from the left selection window, where I can select my other drives. Is that possible?
