It all depends on the RAID setup, more info is needed on that.

Well thiers really no "converting" in that process,you'd be deleating the
RAID set,+ you'd need to reinstall xp if running RAID 0.Simply unplug the unwanted SATA hd,set the BIOS for SATA only,delete the RAID configuration in the post RAID set-up,boot to xp cd,select install xp.

When I drop one of the drives, the remaining drive boots fine. but booting takes longer: there's a time-out lasting approximately 30-40 seconds. Hence my question

If the mirror was created within Windows use Disk Management to break the mirror and just
repartition the second drive. If was created with a hardware controller then use their utility to do the same. By breaking the mirror you will lose your backup if something should happen to the drive. The time out is probably the one drive looking for the other to sync up. -- Dave Vair CNE, CNA, MCP, A+, N+ wrote in message oups.com...

The time out is probably the one drive looking for the other to sync up. Alas... the hardware controller does not permit a one drive raid set. If I use the drive by itself (having disconnected the raid hardware..), the raid boot track that's left on the drive confuses windows. It dies with the message it couldn't find a drive to boot from !
