[Bug 989963] [NEW] OS installation failed to install bootloader on tandem installation option.

[Colby Hill]

Public bug reported:

System Specs
CPU: i5 2400
RAM: 8 GB @ 1333 MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
GPU: EVGA GTX 570
Hard Drives: Two Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ in RAID 0 configuration (using onboard Intel RAID controller, not dedicated controller)
DVD Drive: Some generic drive I ripped out of an HP/Compaq machine. Uses SATA interface.

I've installed Ubuntu on loads of machines but this is the first time
I've installed it on a computer with RAID configuration. I'm still new
to the whole RAID business but I figured I'd try it out and it's been
working fine for a year now on Windows 7. It's probably something I did
wrong on my end with the hardware setup so I'm gonna try a few things.
It might be worth mentioning that I also installed the Windows 8
Developer Preview (from back in August of last year I think) but deleted
it after a couple months. I have yet completely wipe my disks because I
don't have enough backup storage to mirror the data to another drive
(built this system last summer before hard drive prices skyrocketed from
the flooding in Thailand).
