[SOLVED] Lucid/Windows Xp Dual Boot

[isom]

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a separate drive from Windows XP. The problem is that when I try to update grub and get the dual boot setup I get the following error, ERROR: isw: wrong number of devices in RAID set "isw_bfddaadfae_Windows XP" [1/2] on /dev/sdb. The two drives on this computer were once in RAID 1 config, but before installing Ubuntu I split them back up, reinstalled Windows on one and Ubuntu on the other. The chipset is P965/ICH8R. I did set the drive controller back to IDE mode. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Here are the contents of fstab and grub.cfg:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Problem isn't in config files. Ubuntu's GRUB is detecting RAID settings in BIOS.
Check your machine's BIOS again. Check if any RAID related property is enabled in BIOS.

It's working now. When I split the drives from RAID1 I just set the drive controller back to IDE mode and reinstalled everything. I set the controller back to RAID mode and then went into the configuration utility and used the 'set disks to non-RAID' option. After setting the controller back to IDE mode after this everything works good. Thanks for the help.

Glad to help you ! Do start a new thread if you have any other problem.
