The mirroring issue I already knew, because this notebook has raid 0! However I'm interested to know what your solution was! In this case would you just disconnect ssd to break the array and force the hd to be seen? Or did you use another solution?

Nope it won't work. A Non technical Solution i read was that you will have to format both your SSD & HDD for removing everything...

Issue Involved:

User can create the RAID array via "Intel Rapid Storage Technology UI" on Windows but they can't delete RAID by "Intel Rapid Storage Technology UI" and RAID is the only option on BIOS (AHCI option is missing).

Before deleting the RAID array

Always remember to do the windows recovery media before running the RAID tool to delete the array.

With the help of the Acer Care Center (pre-installed on your system), you can create the windows recovery media on an USB stick, so you can reinstall it later.

In the AcerCare Center, click Recovery Management -> Getting Started, and then follow the instructions.

You can also perform a backup of your actual windows installation, so using the windows recovery media, you can reload your OS at the time of the backup.

Press Windows logo key and type "backup"

click on "Backup and restore" and then follow on screen instructions.

Solution for the Same:

>>First of all, check the Volume name of your array on "Intel Rapid Storage Technology UI".

Press windows logo key and type "intel"

click on "Intel Rapid Storage Technology"

click on "Yes" if prompted

check on the right side, under "Storage System View", that "Volume_0000" or "OEMRAID0" is the name of the array.(CHECK IMAGE 1 for Reference)

>>if Type description is:

RAID 1 or Recovery - no data will be lost

RAID 0  - all your data will be lost - you will need to re-install Windows

>>Download the RAID tool

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Xhtj-YZYsDh4AbN_6GoKvmVJ63Ad7OU/view

>>Right click the downloaded RAID_Tool.zip file  

click on "Extract all"

Click on "Browse..." 

Click on "Computer"

Click on "C:" (normally it's labeled "Acer (C: )

Click on "Ok"

Click on "Extract"

>>Now Locate that folder in C Drive and in that folder, Right Click on Delete.bat and Edit and there you will find the below mentioned Code:

@echo off

drvload iaAHCIC.inf

drvload iaStorAC.inf

rstcli64.exe --manage --delete Volume_0000

echo Done!

pause

exit

>>Now Open your "Intel Rapid Storage Technology UI" and Check the Name of your RAID (Refer IMAGE 1 where it says Volume_0000). This name should match with the one mentioned in the code.

If not then either change delete.bat file code of "rstcli64.exe --manage --delete Volume_0000" OR Change your RAID Name from "Intel Rapid Storage Technology UI">> Rename RAID.

Once this done.

 

>>Now click on the Windows logo at the bottom left of your screen

Click on the Power icon

Press Shift key and click on "Restart"

On the next screen click on "Troubleshooting"

On the next screen click on "Advanced settings"

On the next screen click on "Command Prompt"

Select your account and type your password (if any)

 

 >>At Command prompt 

type C:

type CD Raid_tool

type delete

Once successfully deleted, press Enter and then reboot your PC.

The RAID array will be deleted.(Check IMAGE 2 for your Reference)

>>Then for Disk Management your can recreate your Disk.

This solution is based on IronFly's Solution with slight modification to his file.

I'm not copying anybody's work and giving full respect and due credit to whom so ever it may concern.

This is a Technical Solution as worked out and I'm not an Acer Employee...

Do let me know any issues...

>>At Command prompt 

type C:

type CD Raid_tool

type delete 
When i enter type c it says access denied
