All I did was try to install Debian 7 and the RAID5 was just some option that came up during partitioning. I read about it and understood it was supposed to keep whole old stuff sale. That was my understanding and I'm left with no OS neither Debian nor win7

Help me please This could be that the Windows 7 partition was corrupted. I always advise people to do the partitioning outside of the installation when doing a dual-boot. The reason is that Windows file systems are touchy and probably need to be checked after being resized. The fact that you seem to have a RAID 5 array, which I'm guessing is using the SATA RAID drivers for Windows, makes things more complicated. However, we need more information on what exactly your setup is, where the RAID 5 comes in, and what happens when you try to boot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
