What's the false raid? I thought it appeared as simply two disks, one SSD and the other traditional spinning rust. > The installer sees the 500 GB HDD, so I assume I can create a > partition and install Ubuntu on that. Generally, yes. You will want to make certain, though, that not only can it see the HDD but it can also see the partitions on it, and the files therein. If it cannot, then this suggests there's some interesting software layers going on which may need to be worked around. > Where do I put the boot loader though?

It should go on the disk that the BIOS boots, which is likely to be the SSD. > I'm assuming that because the installer sees all the partitions and > disks, I don't need to turn off UEFI or RAID or anything else..... Check you can see the files and then you should be okay. UEFI shouldn't cause any problems, this pseudo-raid setup might, but I can't find any details of it. -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
