Removing software RAID1

My system runs the latest version of Debian on the 2.4.27 kernel with two identical hard drives in a software RAID1 configuration.  I want to remove RAID1 so that the system is as if I had never installed it.  I know how to remove one drive from /dev/md0, but I want to get rid of /dev/md0 completely.

The attached file contains output of "cat /proc/mdstat" and "fdisk -l /dev/hda /dev/hdb /dev/md0".
Note that the partition types are already 83.

/boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab already point to /dev/hda1.
I can't find any file named grub.conf.

Any further ideas?

I missed that it's debian. menu.lst is the same, usually theres symlink grub.conf -> menu.lst (or V-V)

What about /etc/mdadm.conf or /etc/raidtab? Since You have full drives binded into array (not partitions), it should be configured in one of those files.
Forced accept.
