[07:55] <needhelp> I don't suppose someone can answer an installation question from a sort of noob?
[07:57] <needhelp> if so, this is the question.  Gparted can see the partitions, the installer sees only the drive with no partitions (/dev/mapper/something for all of it).  This is dual boot with win7, but I have raid completely disabled, and windows is able to see the partitions fine.  thoughts?
