Welcome to the forums.

The raid setup is controlled by the hardware controller (motherboard's bios typically) so the raid setup will not go away from just formatting the drives.

However, when you load the OS raid drivers must be used to load. In XP you will need to get the raid driver on a floopy, and hit F6 as it loads, first thing it prompts for when you boot from the cd.

Floopy? Is that floppier than a floppy, or less floppy?

Floopy...Floozy...Floppy...oh well, they're all pretty worthless.

The floozy prolly holds more
