How do I delete a RAID 5 set in Windows 2000?

A. When you delete a RAID 5 set in Windows 2000, you lose all the data that the set contains. Therefore, make sure you first back up your data.

To delete a RAID 5 set, perform the following steps:

2. Expand the Storage branch, and select Disk Management.
