Migrating OS from RAID 0 to a SINGLE DISK configuration (NON-RAID 0, retaining data)
I need some clarification from a previous post. Hi everyone, I have a quick question. Would someone please show me STEP BY STEP how to undo a RAID 0 configuration and putting that data on a SINGLE hard drive (not RAID 0)? The data is fine, etc etc etc. All I want to do is to go from 2 disks to ONE disk while retaining data. Runtime's software doesn't work for me, again. I can see the two disks in BIOS, as well as in the Intel Matrix, yet I can't get to them. Please recommend another application that can do this task (freeware?? it's not a complicated app). "My Computer" shows them as ONE disk. Runtime's app showed them as one disk (Again, and again for some reason. It would show "HD128:" and not the two disks, not sure why. REPEATEDLY). I need step by step instructions please as I am not familiar with this process. I am not trying to recover any data, just micrate the OS from 2 RAID 0 disks to ONE non-RAID 0 disk while retaining data. Thanks :)

The key here is that the data is spread across 2 drives--that is if you remove one, your data will not be complete so you need to simply add a 3rd drive and copy the data from the raid 0 drives to the 3rd non-raid drive.
