RAID stuff?

Hi I'm a bit new to this and searched for an answer but none made much sense to me

I'm installing fedora 15 64 bit on my Vaio S-series laptop. It has 2 128gb hard drives and came with windows 7 installed.

I got the ISO onto a 4gb usb drive and booted then tried to install to hard drive.

When I tried to install to Simple devices I got a message "Disks sda, sdb contain BIOS RAID metadata, but are not part of any recognized VIOS RAID sets. Ignoring disks sda, sdb"
and could not choose those partitions to install to when I tried to create a custom layout (only sdc which I assume is the flash drive because of its size)


After searching around a bit i tried to install to specialized storage devices, clicked on Firmware Raid, and saw my BIOS RAID set (stripe) 244204mb and selected that. After continuing, it still would not show the hard drive when I tried to create a custom layout.

Any ideas?

Thanks
