    Is it possible to remove raid on a live system?


    Hi all,

    Is it possible in Windows 7 to turn a raid set back into a single disc without having to save an image, reformat and restore the image?


    I have two drives, 10K Velociraptors, and am running them in raid 0.

    I'd like to try and install a FreeBSD system on the other drive.

    I'm going to play with the two, before I settle on whether a dual boot is what I want or just go wholehog down the 7 road when my retail boxes arrive. :)

    I know that you can dinamically stretch a partition in 7 and vista, but can you un-raid a raid?

    No you cannot un-raid a Raid 0 setup. Well not in a way that is safe.
