Hey, don't normally need to ask questions, but I'm a noob when it comes to RAID. I currently have a pair of WD 500GB SATA II hard drives in a RAID 0 configuration as a boot drive, along with a 1T Hitachi on it's own. Not as impressed by the RAID performance as I was told I would be, and now I've got another use for one of those drives. I want to convert from the RAID 0 to just using a single 500 GB for a boot drive, with the 1T as my back-up and file storage drive. The only way I know how to convert is by doing a fresh install of Windows.
Is there another way to do it? I'm guessing that I can't just clone the RAID 0 to my 1T drive then back to one of the 500GB drives and expect it to work properly.
I'll probably just end up doing the fresh install anyway, but I'm willing to look at any recommendations.
EDIT: I have Windows 7 Ultimate if that matters.
