Deleting a Raid array

[dheyworth1981]

So im not really that impressed by raid, im just going to split them up again and use them as 2 separate storage drives now that i got a faster 320gb one.

Ive taken them out of my old computer and placed them on the (non-raid) intel ports. Bios detects them fine, and windows detects it as a single RAW hard disk.

How do I split them up without spending hours ressurecting the old computer?

Is Windows reporting a single RAW partition equal to the total size of the two disks?

Assuming you don't want to keep any data on the disks I would put them in the new PC one at a time and delete any existing partitions and reformat them. If you want the data then you'll need to rebuild the old PC and transfer the data to your new PC either via ethernet or a big stack of DVDs.

All ok now, partition magic is good

It was a dump whatever was on there job, just deleted the 300gb RAW image, then it redetected it as a 150gb drive....then just made 2 more partitions

Thanks for help
