    Need help disabling RAID 0 and reinstalling OS

    I just received my custom built HP Envy 15 yesterday and realized that my dual hard drives have been mistakenly RAID 0 configured by HP. The hard drives are a 160gb SSD and 250gb HDD (5400rpm). They show up as one 320gb RAID 0. My intention was to use the SDD for the OS, photoshop, games, etc; and use the HDD for storage.

    So I'd like to disable the RAID configuration and reinstall the OS on the SSD, but I'm not sure where to begin. I looked in the BIOS and could not find any setting for disabling RAID, and I'm not sure that's even necessary. If anyone can point me in the direction of tutorial or can offer advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
