A year or so ago I experimented with raid on my pc. I don't remember the brand but I remember the card was a soft raid controller. I eventually gave up and just went to making backups. It doesn't seem to bother Windows but When I try to install SuSE, the drive is detected as a raid drive. I need to know how to remove the raid marking so the drive will be a normal drive again. Because of some other problems with the partitions, I would like to totally wipe the drive and start over (as if I just bought it). I don't know how to wipe in a way that will also remove the raid marking. Though I have tried reading about raid, I don't understand well about such things as the superblock and I don't know where this superblock is or if that is what is causing the drive to be detected as a raid drive. So far in searching this list and googling, I haven't come up with anything. Any suggestions?
