Comment 5 for bug 19749

I booted up Colony 3 today and have a bit of good news. My DVD/CDRW drive and
wireless hardware and network were all detected this time around. There's no
error this time about not finding any hard disks, but the disk partitioning step
isn't really clear about how I should proceed. My options are "Configure
software RAID", "Configure Logical Volume Manager" or "Guided partitioning"
(which just tells me I need to do it manually). I've followed both the RAID and
LVM options, but neither lets me access the partitions on the physical disk, and
warn that if I proceed, changes to the physical disk won't be possible. There's
only one disk in the machine and it currently has an NTFS partition on it that I
need to resize before installing Breezy. Although this sounds like a
functionality issue now, the folks in both the #ubuntu and #ubuntu-laptop IRC
channels said I should just add this info to this bug.

The only thought I've had is that in the BIOS I can switch between "RAID0" and
"JBOD" for the hard drive, but that warns that all data will be destroyed. If
that's what I need to do though, I will. I'll just reinstall WinXP first again
so I can test the NTFS resizing functionality in Breezy. Waiting for
confirmation on how to proceed.
