Phillip, Chased around and fiddled. Finally rebooted and applied dmraid -r -E. Cleared flags on two disks.
Continued on with the ubiquity install process. Setup free space and swap space, etc. Process continued intil it complained about not being able to creat the swap file. Everything. Kill the box and reboot. Removed the USB flash and came to "no partitions", grub rescue on a "win7" boot, which is about what I thought may occur. Plugged the USB back in. Booted up and into the installation process. Sailed through the install process until choices about what and where to install. Chose custom and installed Mint in a new partition and swap space. All installed OK, up and running and I am using it to look at the disk environment. I have used around 40% of the HDD and there are three partitions on the SSD. No sign of raid anywhere. So I can probably work my way through things on the disks, re-arrange partitions on the ssd and the hdd and do a fresh install on the ssd. Woops, whats this scrambled display after boot, oh dear something about "nomodeset", can currently get around it by shutting the lid, waits until things close down then hit the power button. All OK, more research. Woops again, no wireless, the realtek drivers are missing, there is an install and fix process somewhere...... Ithought computers were supposed to be tools to do work, not something you spend your time working on.
