I recently bought un ultrabook with a 500gb/32gb sdd hdd hybrid drive, and I'm having trouble replacing windows on it with fedora seventeen. it errors out saying there was an unhandled exception. Is linux compatible with hybrid drives? or can the operating system on a hybrid drive not be replaced?

Edit: here are the steps

  1. I select special storage devices because it ignores my hard drives otherwise

    at this point i get the message: "Disk contains bios raid meta data, disk sda will be ignored"

  2. I can pick a hostname, select my timezone and set a password

  3. at the install type screen, no matter what I select (use all free space, replace linux systems, create custom partition etc..) once I click next, it says "an unhandled exception" has occured. and I can no longer proceed with installation.

Here is the error message:

anaconda 17.29 exception report

Traceback (most recent call first); File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/size-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py"; line 183 self.stage1_drive=self_drives[0] File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/rw/cleardisks_gui.ph"; line...

and tons of more lines like that
