1 hdd stuck in raid 0

[Loftis4357]

I've never ran an HDD in raid since I've had my PC. I had to do a fresh restart on it recently due to some software and interface problems. I basically have a brand new computer now. My problem is that, since the reset, I have one HDD operating normal, and one that's stuck in Raid 0 with no memory and no disc usage on my computer. Going into the my computer options, it doesn't even read it's there. My intel software reads it's a problem, but doesn't show me what the problem ism in fact, it doesn't even show up on the list of devices. Only my main and my cddvd drive. When I browse into my connected devices it's there but I have no options of formating. Any ideas, solutions, comments, questions?

Is it detected in Disk management? If so you should be able to format it and then use it. Drive might need to be initialized? The a new partition created.

Background: I had this issue previously when I setup four Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD's in RAID 0 and afterward wanted to remove the array.

Solution: cmd -> diskpart -> list disk -> select disk [disk # based on disk list] -> clean

! Warning: Be careful to visually verify that you've selected the correct disk. Failure to do so could result in your destroying the data on the wrong disk.

Let me know how it goes.

You may also have to go into the IRST on boot up (CTRL C or R or I or something like that) and then make sure the hard drive isn't in any RAID set as well.

Thanks everyone, sadly, these didn't work. It apparently is stuck in cyclic redundancy as a data drive. I looked up online how to remove it and doing DSKCHK on windows 10 seems to hang up on the verify security part. Any other ideas? You're help has been greatly appreciated! Thank you!

have you tried putting it in another PC and doing as rcald2000 said and doing the diskpart and cleaning it?
