RAID5 problem on A8N-SLI Deluxe : can't RE-use same HDs again !

I've just bought a A8N-SLI Deluxe, and I've made a first and good test on
the RAID controler : I succeeded in creating a 4 HDs RAID5 bunch &
installing XP on it. It boots, it works ! But that was just a first
trial...
As I intended to install the system on a single drive (to 'isolate' the
RAID5 bunch) I've tried to re-use the same 4 HDs on the SIL controller,
plus a single one with the system on the other controller.
I've reformated the 4 Maxtor HDs (high, then low level from the SIL
controller Bios), but now the RAID Bios utility doesn't let me build a
RAID5 bunch again : it says the disks are 'Reserved' and I can't build
anything with it. And of course, Windows doesn't see the Disks anymore. It
seems that even with a Lowlevel formatting, the disks still keep an
information that prevents their use for building a RAID5 bunch...
Any idea of a solution (or at least an explanation...) ?
