grub2

I am following http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and I am using software RAID 0. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD and is trying to restore grub2 after installing Windows 7 in another partition.

Here is the console's outputs:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Unable to seek on /dev/sad

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmraid -r /dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_acajefec", stripe, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_acajefec", stripe, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0

So do you have an idea for how to make fdisk see my RAID array? How to make fdisk detect the Software RAID like dmraid?
