    Hello I'm new to your forums, although I have read and learned a lot as a guest. I now have a question that I hope can be answered here.
    I have a Vaio AR51SU. It came with 2 x 250GB hard drives in a RAID 0 array.
    I now wish to sack the raid array and re-instal oem Vista Ultimate on the first of the two drives. My problem, I believe, is that the recovery partition (and the recovery discs I created) will want to put back the system back as it came (ie with the raid 0 array). My only other option as I see it is to use something like Macrium Reflect to take an image of the system as it is now and then recover the system using that image when the raid array is deleted. My concern is that the image taken whilst in raid 0 will not restore properly on a non-raid setup.
    Any views would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
