I will give that a try. Somebody in the Mint forum told me to run Mint 7 instead. I sounds like there's a bug in the installer. I also tried Ubuntu and it could not see the drive either. I really think its a BIOS issue, and there's no option to turn off raid, which I think is causing the problem.

I just want to make sure of something: you made a change in the installed packages while running the live cd, rebooted the computer, started up the live cd again, and noticed that there was no change? If you didn't do something like chroot into the installed system, then rebooting the live cd
