Hello,
I have bought 2x2TB disks and set it up for RAID0. I have installed
Win7 first with UEFI that created GPT partitions. I want to install
FreeBSD and Linux on it..
Using Lubuntu AMD64 14.04.02 ISO and UEFI boot I have problem with
installation. Installer crashes, so I have tried gparted it crashes as
well, and so parted, below are details.
Please advise :-)

You must not access an individual disk when it is part of a fake raid
array; you must instead partition the array as a whole ( e.g.
/dev/mapper/somethingorther ). It appears to be a disk that claims to
be larger than it actually is. That old version of parted refuses to
handle it, so you could also use a more recent release ( Ubuntu 15.04
should do ).
