Currently my system is setup as a sata raid-0.
I am trying to add a 3rd sata drive (it was a primary harddrive from a friends system) just so I can save any data from it.

When I put it in my system, I am only getting options to assimilate it into my raid system (which I dont want to do).

Does anyone have any ideas so I can safely hook it up to my main system, rip the data off the 3rd HD and onto my raid 0 HDs, then remove the 3rd harddrive permantly?

Raid card is the onboard one on my Asus A8n-e

nevermind

I ended up digging out an older system I forgot I had in my closet with an open sata port and no raid to interfere.
