I need to edit some of my Windows partitions on a RAID 0 array, but I'm having a problem where Knoppix seems to recognize and mount them [aka I can open various files from the partitions] but neither GParted or QTparted will properly reconize them at all.
I'm using the Asus A8N-E (http://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=171&l4=0&model=455&modelmenu=2) motherboard which uses the nForce4 Ultra chipset and built-in NVRAID utility. From what I can tell from the boot process the RAID array appears as a SCSI device.
Below is the information I've gathered about the problem. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
Knoppix seems to have found my array...
knoppix@Knoppix:~$ ls -lsa /dev/mapper/
total 0
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 180 Jul 15 00:03 .
0 drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 14180 Jul 15 00:03 ..

0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 5 Jul 15 00:03 nvidia_bbegijeb6
But listing the partitions doesn't exactly work out so great.
knoppix@Knoppix:~$ fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb
Cannot open /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb
knoppix@Knoppix:~$ fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb1
Disk /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb1: 21.4 GB, 21476173824 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Every time I even click on a disk using QTparted I get a dialog box "Critical error during ped_disk_new" and this prints in the console
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
A bug has been detected in GNU Parted. Refer to the web site of parted http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html for more informations of what could be useful for bug submitting! Please email a bug report to bug-parted@gnu.org containing at least the version (1.7.1) and the following message: Assertion (disk != NULL) at ../../libparted/disk.c:1319 in function ped_disk_next_partition() failed.
