Possible to delete RAID metadata from hard drives?

Is there any way to remove/delete/deactivate RAID metadata (aka
"signatures") from my hard drives? A long time ago I had the drives in
a RAID set, but quickly reconsidered and decided to use them as
independent drives. My disaster-recovery CD (for restoration of a
disk image) boots into SuSE Linux (with DMRAID) and insists on seeing
the two drives as a RAID set because of the metadata present on them.
Thus, the disaster-recovery CD is useless. I want to remove the
metadata from these drives so the recovery CD will see them as
separate drives. I have gone into the SATA/RAID BIOS for my Silicon
Image 3112 controller, but it reports that no RAID sets exist and that
there are no conflicts to resolve. Can anyone advise? Would the
DMRAID tool allow me to deactivate the metadata? Many thanks.
