Problem converting Dynamic to Basic Disks
I created a "software raid" using Win7 computer management. The two HDD's are now in a raid0 array using a dynamic disk configuration. I have since decided that I do not want to have them in raid. I have tried several things to change from dynamic to basic including the tutorial shown on this site. I also used Partition Wizard Home Edition. Nothing seems to work. I even used device manager to uninstall the driver, but none of those things has changed the disks to basic. What is left to try?
Edit: By the way, there is nothing on the dynamic disk any more, so no problem with any method that will erase the data. Also, I have tried formatting the array, deleting it, and several other things. Another thing I noticed is in computer management - there is no choice when I right click on the array on the left panel to go from dynamic to basic. There was a choice to change to MBR or change to GPT, even a choice to go to dynamic (even though it was already dynamic). It almost seems like something is messed up.
