| 1469378 | 2020-06-07 04:00:00 | I have two Seagate Barracuda (7200) 500 Gbytes hard drives that were in a RAID array in my old XP computer. How can I delete this RAID setting so I can then use these drives as external drives for my current Win-10 computer? TIA, Peter. |

| 1469380 | 2020-06-07 05:19:00 | They don't show up when connected one at a time. | PeterE (6851) | ||
| 1469381 | 2020-06-07 07:59:00 | Are these drives still installed in the your old xp PC? | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1469382 | 2020-06-07 11:24:00 | No, the XP is dismantled after the motherboard became kaput. | PeterE (6851) | ||
| 1469383 | 2020-06-07 20:56:00 | OK Peter just how are you attempting to access the drives? And with what system? | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1469384 | 2020-06-07 21:50:00 | They don't show up when connected one at a time. wipe them with diskpart cmd, diskpart, list disk, select disk x , clean |

| 1469385 | 2020-06-07 22:12:00 | I've had this issue in the past trying to reuse old drives. I the finish bought a USB to drive cable and used that to reformat the drives. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1469386 | 2020-06-08 04:38:00 | I fit a drive into a Nexstar-3 external 3.5 hard drive enclosure with eSATA connections, then connect to a rear terminal on my desktop base. The whole PC runs on Win-10 ver.1909. |

| 1469387 | 2020-06-08 04:42:00 | They should show up in disk management and you can delete the partitions on them at create a new one. all data will be lost though. Right click the windows start button and choose disk management from there. Be careful you choose the correct drive. |
