Resetting RAID drives to non-RAID

You can reset a RAID 1 or IRRT 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 notebook PC Upgrade Bay to the
docking station bay.

NOTE:

A RAID 0 volume cannot be migrated to a RAID 1 volume or to a non-RAID primary HDD

because the size of the RAID 0 volume may be greater than the capacity of the primary HDD. If you
wish to return the primary HDD in a RAID 0 volume to non-RAID status, you must first back up all data
to an external drive with sufficient capacity. Then follow the steps below to reset the RAID 0 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.
