    Go into your BIOS and there should be a setting where you can change your RAID options. Make sure to backup all your files because changing your RAID settings will format your hard drives.

    Hey, I heard the G51VX-RX05 has different BIOS... but let me try to see if its the same for RAID stuff:

    I do have one option for RAID in BIOS, its setup at "Enhanced" for default... I cant tell you right now where is it exactly since Im trying to install WinVista SP2.. Will get back to you later..

    But since you had RAID 0 before, you can try Pressing F2 at boot, then CTRL + I right after the POST screens shows up... If you have RAID0 setup in bios, you should enter in your RAID0 configuration Window... Just create a new raid, lose all your data, and your good =)

    Ps.: 5.9 Windows Vista Experience for HD here..

    Alright, here we go:

    1) Enter the BIOS then go to Advanced->IDE Configuration->Sata Operation Mode, and switch it to RAID.
    2) Reboot your Computer, press F2 until the POST screen shows up, then keep pressing "CTRL + I"..
    3) At this screen I can not tell you what to do, but it should be like, create a new RAID0, define which HD's to use, the name of the RAID ( can be anything ) and the size... fairly simple I guess.. Remember, doing that you will lose EVERY data you had before..
    4) Reboot your computer again and reinstall your OS xD
