UPDATE: This is fixed, downloaded the WD diagnostics and wrote 0's to the drive.
Good evening,
First off, I struggled with where to post this and how to find it in search, so if this is the wrong forum, or has been posted previously, I apologize.
I have a drive (WD Velociraptor) that used to be in a RAID 0 configuration. The machine it was in failed and I am now using the drives in other machines. The first one worked fine, but this one is not seen by Windows setup, though it is seen by the bios. I assume there is some kind of token inscribed on the secondary+ discs in a raid configuration that windows sees and suppresses displaying them, but I dont know how to remove it so I can use the drive in the new machine. My preference would be to fix it in place in the machine, but it won't be the end of the world if I have to take it out and put it in another machine to sort the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob
Edit for clarification. It isn't a driver issue, I can pop a different SATA drive on there and it is seen fine.
