OPTIONS TO RESET THE RAID VOLUME In The Pre-OS UI's ************************************************************************** Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - pre-OS user interfaces provide two methods for resetting the RAID volume: 1. Delete RAID Volume 2. Reset Disks to Non-RAID Differences between the options are noted below. Users are advised to select the option based on the situation. 12.1 Delete RAID Volume When a RAID volume is deleted, RAID metadata on the participating disks is erased and sector zero is cleared; as a result, the partition table and file system related data are reset. Windows installer will not see any invalid data at the time of OS installation. This is the recommended method for reconfiguring the RAID volume and installing OS on it. 12.2 Reset Disks to Non-RAID This option is used to reset the metadata on the disk which participates in more than one RAID volume in single operation. It should be used if 'Delete RAID Volume' option fails for any reason and to reset a disk that has been marked as Spare and offline member. When a disk in the RAID volume is reset to non-RAID, RAID metadata is erased. However, partition table and file system related data still exists, which may be invalid. This might cause Windows installer to misinterpret the information available on the 'reset disk' at the time of installation. This could result in unexpected behavior in OS installation. ************************************************************************** * 13.
