Raid 0 partitioning?

Depends if its hardware based, software based or just a single drive partitioned and the OS sees it as RAID enabled...Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0

As Naf says, what you need to do depends on how it's implemented. The following is what I had to do on a software-based RAID setup:
1. Turn off RAID in the BIOS.
2. Find out what make of drives are used and download the bootable diagnostic CD ISO (I used Seatools, as they were Seagate/Maxtor drives).
3. Boot the PC from the diagnostic CD and choose the "rewrite MBR" option (it may be called something else, such as "low level format") for each drive.
4. Use the diagnostic CD (or use GPARTED on a Linux LiveCD, which I prefer) to format the drives as you want.
There may be more elegant ways to achieve the same effect, but this is what worked for me.0
