I had a PC with 2 WD 640GB configured as RAID 0. Recently I upgrade the machine with new MB, new CPU and SSD as a boot drive. I'd like to use one of WD hard drive as a secondary drive in the machine. However even though Windows can see the hard drive, it reported error "not initialized". In Disk management, I can see the drive, but it shows its size is 1192GB which is the size of original RAID 0.
Since the hard drive is connected new MB by SATA 6 (or 3 I'm not sure), I think the RAID 0 configuration must be saved in the hard drive. My question is how to remove the configuration information on the hard drive ? I cannot find a definitively method over Internet. I think the worst case is that I put everything back of the old machine and remove RAID 0 from the old MB. Maybe the RAID 0 configuration can be deleted from the hard drive. But I think it is kind of too cumbersome.
However the hard drive works fine if I insert it into an enclosure and use it as an USB device. I even use Paragon HD manager to wipe and format the drive, but it still doesn't work when being connected to the new MB by SATA.
