Deleting a RAID Array
NOTE: While this procedure deletes the RAID 1 volume, it also splits the RAID 1
volume into two non-RAID hard drives with a partition, and leaves any existing data
files intact. Deleting a RAID 0 volume, however, destroys all data on the volume.
NOTE: If your computer currently boots to RAID and you delete the RAID volume,
your computer will become unbootable.
