I need to remove a RAID 5 array (4 WD 70gig Raptors) from a system and replace with a single clean drive so that I can install a new OS. The reason for this is that I cannot boot into Windows right now and have tried all the Googled tips and tricks. I can get to the Windows logo screen, but it always shutsdown and reboots. The RAID 5 is healthy. I suspect its something to do with the fact that the current version of Windows I'm running may be a duplicate, unbeknownst to me of course. I'm running Windows 7 Professional and need to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, a bonafide legit copy. I need to find someway to access some files on the RAID 5 disks, and I'm stuck. Any advice would be greatly recommended.
Thanks!
Thanks!
