I don't have one here to play with either. But if he's going to break the
RAID array ( now "0" ), he's eventually going to have to go into the RAID
bios which appears after the Dell splash screen.

He's going to have to delete the array, then recreate it for RAID 1 in the
RAID bios.....

I've done it several times on Dimension 8400's, but not enough to do it from
memory.
