Good afternoon,
I recently came upon a Optiplex 960 with two hard drives in RAID 1 configuration. Not thinking correctly, I installed Windows 7 (x64) onto the drive forgetting to switch to RAID level 0. Is there any possible way I can switch from RAID 1 to RAID 0 without reinstall? A reinstall is not out of the question, I will use Acronis to image my computer, reset the RAID level, and do it that way. However, I'd like to avoid the downtime of reimaging a computer and just switch RAID levels.
Write speed is more important to me than read speed, and I have redundant backups onto a few portable hard drives anyway. As such, RAID 1 is rather useless to me.
Thank you!
