@Matthew Carpenter (matt-eisgr) No, the BIOS is not set to UEFI-Mode. I actually wiped everything on the harddisk and formated the Harddisk and the SSD with 'parted magic'. After that I did a clean install of windows 7. During this installation I was asked how to handle the harddisk: as ATA-Disk or together with the SSD as raid. I chose ATA. The windows-installation wored fine afterwards. As far as I do understand the situation, there is a 'fake-raid'-controller inside the laptop. Fake, because this controller does not work on it's own like a real raid-controller, but you need a special soft-driver. This is pretty much like thos crippled laser-printers for windows, which needed a special GDI-driver. I believe, that at the moment there is no proper driver for this 'crippled' raid-controller.
When I tried to install Kubuntu 12.04 (alternate), the installation procedure asked my, if I wanted to use a raid-driver or use the disks in a plain ATA-Mode. After choosing 'plain-ATA-Mode', the installation worked fine. Since there is no 'alternate'-Installer anymore for 13.04, you can only use the offered installer. And this installer does not ask 'do you want to use a raid-driver' or use an 'ATA-driver'. It seems the installer realises, that there is a raid-controller-hardware inside the laptop, automatically loads one (or several - I don't know), and by doing so, the disks can't be controlled properly, since the raid-controller is 'fake'. So as far as my researches have gone, the problem lies within the installer. The only solution to the problem was for me to install 12.04 with the alternate-installer, then upgrade to 12.10 and then upgrade to 13.04. It's a lot of work, but at least it works.
