Legacy RAID (PERC2/DC) controller help

[Doug Eubanks]

Hmmm...I don't remember see the option to delete an array in the BIOS either, but maybe I overlooked it since I' used to using dellmgr.  I'll check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion!

  Don't use dellmgr, use the BIOS-level configuration app.  I don't
  think dellmgr can delete logical drives in that vintage controller.
