Ok so I've been pulling my hair out lately trying to figure this out. I have a Gateway LX6810 that has a raid card in it. Now I have a 640gb drive that shows up in Mediashield as a *spanned* drive and whenever I hook another drive it puts itself into a *striped* drive. Now I've tried doing just about everything besides erasing that first drive because thats where all my stuff is even though I have it backed up. Is there anyway to get rid of raid all together and just let my drives play nicely with each other? Even removing the raid option in the bios isn't helping !
