6 Resetting RAID drives to non-RAID

You can reset a RAID 1 or Recovery volume to two non-RAID drives using the following instructions to access the Intel Option ROM and reset both drives to non-RAID status. You must also reset both drives to non-RAID if you need to move the RAID recovery drive from the computer's upgrade bay to the docking station's bay.

NOTE: A RAID 0 or RAID 5 volume cannot be migrated to a RAID 1 volume or to a non-RAID primary HDD because the size of the RAID 0 or RAID 5 volume may be greater than the capacity of the primary HDD. If you wish to return the primary HDD in a RAID 0 or RAID 5 volume to non-RAID status, you must first back up all data to an external drive with sufficient capacity. Next, follow the steps below to reset the RAID 0 or RAID 5 drives to non-RAID. After you complete the procedure, you must reinstall the operating system on the primary drive.

1.Power on or restart the computer. When the Option ROM window displays, press ctrl+I to enter the configuration utility.

2.In the Main Menu, use the up or down arrow key to select 3. Reset Disks to Non-RAID, and then press enter. The Reset RAID Data window displays.
