I have ubuntu installed on one drive of the machine.
it doest allow me to repartion the drive.
I tried the command, but there is nothing happening.

is there any way of maybe downloading live CD with drivers for the raid, because on the BIOS of the machine the RAID is there but when I install windows, thats when I only see two different drives.

Does this mean, in practice, that hardware RAID is not supported on the DL160? I know neither Ubuntu nor HP officially support it on this particular server, but is software RAID the existing solution (not dual-booting, therefore don't need fakeRAID)?

Wyatt--we have a new server (the HP in question), and I don't want to read incorrectly or too optimistically into your post ("You can easily install the raid drivers.") Here, you're referencing softRAID, correct, vs. the ability for BIOS to handle the operations?

Thanks so much,

Thanks Wyatt Smith, that solved my question.
