Bug Description

I have three HDD devices on my computer.
Two are in a RAID 0 (or, RAID 1, I don't remember which has different data on both drives), and a single, nonraid drive.
Only the non raid drive shows up in the installer, despite the fact that the live OS can see the RAID drive.

This was found on Kubuntu 14.04

Your description does not make sense. A raid consists of at least two drives, so if you only have two drives in the system, one can not be part of a raid and the other not. Please try to provide a better description, as well as the output of lsblk.

When you say the live OS can see the RAID drive, could you give us a bit more details? If you could attach a screenshot, that would be best.

Also, please add the output of 'sudo parted -l', this will help seeing how the drives are being presented to the system, and thus to the installer.

Thanks!

What I meant by that is that, when I launched the partition editor, I could see the partitions of the RAID drive.
I will have to re-open my live thumbdrive again to take a screenshot
