Deleting a RAID Volume

NOTE: While this procedure deletes the RAID 1 volume, it also splits the RAID 1 volume into two non-RAID hard drives with a partition, and leaves any existing data files intact. Deleting a RAID 1 volume, however, destroys all data on the volume.

2Right-click the Volume icon of the RAID volume you want to delete, and select Delete Volume.

3On the Delete RAID Volume Wizard screen, click Next.

4Highlight the RAID volume you want to delete in the Available box, click the right-arrow button to move the highlighted RAID volume into the Selected box, and then click Next.

5Click Finish to delete the volume.

Migrating to a RAID 1 Volume

1Set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see "Setting Your Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode" on page 49).

2Click Start and point to All Programs→ Intel® Matrix Storage Manager→ Intel Matrix Storage Console to launch the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager.

NOTE: If you do not see an Actions menu option, you have not yet set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see "Setting Your Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode" on page 49).

3On the Actions menu, click Create RAID Volume From Existing Hard Drive to launch the Migration Wizard.

4Click Next on the first Migration Wizard screen.
