Changed Windows RAID LD to IDE, FC10 can't detect

[btarunr]

I used to have Windows XP installed on a RAID 0 volume, and a separate hard drive to store FC10 in its native partition layout (/boot and LVM). The RAID logical drive was detected by FC10 during installation, and I could mount it using ntfs-3g.

Later, I destroyed the Windows RAID 0 volume, set the controller to native IDE mode, and used the two member disks as individual NTFS volumes. The problem now is that I can't mount them in FC10. Physically, the NTFS volumes are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. Here's what fdisk -l lists:

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160040803840 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x23de0de1

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 16708 134206978+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 16709 19457 22081342+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 16709 19457 22081311 b W95 FAT32

Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160040803840 bytes

Disk /dev/sdc: 40.0 GB, 40019582464 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux
/dev/sdc2 26 4865 38877300 8e Linux LVM

...where sdc1 and 2 are where FC10 resides.

When try to mount /dev/sdb1 using ntfs-3g, here's what I get:

ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows
Error opening '/dev/sdb1': No such device or address
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': No such device or address
Either the device is missing or it's powered down, or you have
SoftRAID hardware and must use an activated, different device under
/dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1) to mount NTFS.
Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.

What do I do now?

I think this shows what the problem may be. Even though you have de-raided the drives, they are still attached to a raid controller, so you need to map the device as per the dmraid docs mentioned. I assume these are IDE and not SATA drives?

Yes, they're SATA drives.

It seems I need to disable dmraid. Thanks!
