I confirm that HPA is disabled.



I don't understand this RAID thing, but my setup has two hard disks, one with 1TB and another one with 32GB SSD. The last is used as a cache. This thing is called Intel Rapid Storage Technology. As far as I can tell, it "uses" RAID. So I don't want to disable it in Windows. How to proceed?

It looks like there's some question about how big the disk is. This type of problem usually occurs for one of three reasons:



  • You've got a hardware RAID array and you've added a disk to the array. If this is the case, you can tell parted to fix the problem (at the prompt you quoted and cancelled out of).

  • Your motherboard supports its own software-based RAID configuration, and this was active when the disk was partitioned, despite the fact that you've got just one disk. This results in the OS (probably Windows) thinking that the disk is smaller than it is. This works fine so long as you're in any OS that honors the software-based RAID setup. If you've booted Linux with such support disabled, though, Linux will see the entire disk, and the problem you report appears. The solution is to bring the two OSes into sync, either by activating the relevant type of RAID support in Linux or by disabling it in the firmware and in Windows. For a single-disk setup, I recommend the latter option, although that means you'll still see the error message in parted. Once the motherboard-based software RAID support is disabled, though, you can tell parted to fix it and everything should be fine. (You may also need to type sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda to erase the errant RAID metadata.)

  • Something has set a Host Protected Area (HPA) on the disk, but one of your OSes doesn't honor the HPA. You can check for this in Linux by typing sudo hdparm -N /dev/sda; you should get a report that specifies whether the HPA is active or disabled. How to proceed if you find this depends on why the HPA was active to begin with and what OS is not honoring it.

Unless you know you've got a hardware RAID array, I recommend checking for an HPA first, since the results of the hdparm command should be pretty definitive. If there's no HPA, you can then focus on figuring your your software RAID settings and, once you understand them, bringing your two OSes into line.

Once the motherboard-based software RAID support is disabled, though, you can tell parted to fix it and everything should be fine. (You may also need to type sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda to erase the errant RAID metadata.)

    • Something has set a Host Protected Area (HPA) on the disk, but one of your OSes doesn't honor the HPA. You can check for this in Linux by typing sudo hdparm -N /dev/sda; you should get a report that specifies whether the HPA is active or disabled. How to proceed if you find this depends on why the HPA was active to begin with and what OS is not honoring it.

    Unless you know you've got a hardware RAID array, I recommend checking for an HPA first, since the results of the hdparm command should be pretty definitive. If there's no HPA, you can then focus on figuring your your software RAID settings and, once you understand them, bringing your two OSes into line.

    • AFAIK, Windows honours the HPA. Ubuntu will ignore it if the partition table lists a partition that extends beyond the HPA limited range, so respecting it would cause IO errors to parts of the disk.
