the first thing want how setup partitions on raid volume in preparation installation of ubuntu 11.04, have on 2gb usb flash drive. important installation of windows not destroyed in way, shape, or form. please save me utter distress! have tried myself already, destroy windows installation.

keep in mind had windows installation on raid volume. also, installed linux on /dev/sda @ time. when reinstalled windows, installed on /dev/sda, , raid volume contains files previous installation of windows 7. raid volume linux installation now.

can me started on this?

once ubuntu installed, need figure out how dual monitor setup configured. have 24" , 21" monitor. have nvidia card. installed proprietary nvidia drivers in ubuntu, not able set each monitor (i wasn't , don't want use twinview) in such way drag windows between then. when enabled xinerama, ubuntu not boot using unity. after logging in (and having unity selected), wouldn't interface, see background wallpaper.

monitor issues 2nd thing i'll need resolved.
