    I just got a XPS 15 9550 with a 32GB + 1TB configuration and I accidentally created it as a RAID 0 and now it shows a 28GB drive. I have tried to re-install the OS but I cannot get the system to undo the RAID 0 so I can go back to the original configuration.

    Can someone help me with the instructions how I can fix this?

    I doubt it, you can't install in raid 0 as the laptop doesn't support it.
    You can change the sata mode to AHCI in the BIOS though.
    Do you not see the 1tb drive when you install windows as you will need to install on that, then when in windows install intel RST and create a cache drive using the 32gb.

    I cannot get to install Intel RST, keeps failing to install with fatal error. Thought the ISO would have this in there.

    What version are you installing and what is the error, only a couple of important things you forgot to mention o_O

    It's Sunday, my ESP is down for the weekend. :p
