I cannot help but wonder WHY Dell is shipping computers with RAID configured?!?!
Even with two hard drives, configured as RAID 0, the Dell web site says this:
"RAID 0 offers little protection for data because there is no redundancy (duplication) of the data, so if one drive fails the entire array will stop working." See the link for the rest of the RAID information from Dell.
You MUST use the provided RAID configuration software to modify a raid hard drive array, it can not be done with Windows Disk Management. If the RAID is part of the motherboard chipset, the BIOS must be set to enable the RAID, and to disable it.
I suggest you contact Dell Support to find out how they recommend saving your hard drive contents, disabling the RAID 0, and restoring to an non-raid hard drive.
Cheers!
