</div>There's no reason why<br>
mdadm --zero-superblock <every_mdadm_partition><br>
wouldn't work.<br>
<br>
It's definitely the way to go.<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div>I thought it was too.. But there is something you guys didn't know (I didn't either!). Well.. I tried fakeraid with the nvidia MCP... Well, it wrote something on there which dmraid detected... It asked me during the installation if I wanted to load the "SATA RAID". Of course I said "no". But the install detected it anyway. So, to remove you have to do "dmraid -rE". Just something I tried from other forums... Then it told me : Do you want to remove the tag nvidia blabla bla... That's where I knew that Nvidia RAID was interfering even after being disabled.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not out of the woods yet. I created my partitions manually on both drives but the "Configure software RAID" won't bring up my MD RAID1 partition to assign the "/" partition and doesn't show anywhere. I'll try another reboot for that.</div>
