    I'm pretty sure gparted would have forced a reformat if you asked it to, but i haven't tried so it's just a guess on my part. In the end, what did you do to fix it?

    I would have run a Secure Erase.

    Boot into your laptop's RAID configuration, delete the RAID 0 array and then go from there.
