Hi everyone.
I just unplugged my two sata 500gb Samsung HD501LJ from raid 0 and split them for 2 other comps. Both hd are visible in bios. However I'm not able to install anything on it.
When I tried install win 7 rc got message " Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the partition selected for installation . Error code 0x80070057. " Partition was 456gb size.
When I plug this HD to another PC then it is recognized by bios, but is not recognized inside windows. So I download Super Grub Disk and tried repaired the HD but get message "Error 15: File not found. Booting not lucky".
I also tried "bootrec /fixmbr" from command prompt and got action successful message, but when I triad install vista or W7 it was same.
When I previously installed RAID0 on this dicks I remember I erased MBR. It was working perfectly on RAID 0 with win vista on old install. But now they are both dead. Is there way to make it work back again? I dont have any data on it to save, just wont get some storage. I have tight budget so no new HD for me :-(( Please help if you know how. Thank you.

What kinda raid where you using software or hardware. You could always try format (we are gonna use C for this) format cu or other approprate commands depending on the OS.
If these drives were previously in RAID 0 (as in your first post) you'll have to erase and re-create the partitioning, then re-format; you can just install onto them.
Thank you all again and again... :-) , especially to Lomax from whirlpool forum for GParted boot cd tip.
GParted resolved my problem.
Thank you all.
