I deleted the RAID Volume from the BIOS according to (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006188/technologies/intel-rapid-storage-technology-intel-rst.html) However, the drive letter disappeared and the partition became inaccessible.
Even if I want to give the partition a drive letter, it is grayed out and I cannot select it.
Is there any way to access the partition without formatting it?

Hello Albert R.
I am attaching the system log and screenshots.
However, I have already removed the Toshiba HDD that caused the problem, so I am connecting it via USB.
Also, 1 out of 2 was formatted.
The greyed out partition is labeled "GPT Protective Partition".
thank you.

Hello mizu, I just received an update ion this matter.
Based on the information shown in the SSU document, we can see that you are using an 11-year-old setup. For that reason, we just wanted to confirm how you were able to complete step 1 in the article Delete a RAID 1 Mirror Without Data Loss?
Additionally, please provide a screenshot of the Intel® RST tool you are using.

Hello Alberto
The PC I'm using now was built 11 years ago.
However, the problem HDD was incorporated in May 2016 and RAID1 was set.
At that time, just like this time, I replaced the Raid1 drive with a large capacity one.
The situation at that time is ambiguous, but I think that the data was probably copied to another HDD without retaining the data, and then the Raid1 was destroyed and formatted.
I would like to know if Raid1's drive can be read by the new system if the HDD in Raid1 is okay and the system containing IntelRST is broken.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the current IntelRST.

Hello mizu, Thank you very much for confirming that information and providing the picture.
It is important to mention that we only provide support in English language, so we cannot understand the details shown in the picture you shared. Do you have the option to provide that same picture in English language or maybe translate the information that is showing in there?

Hello Albert
I couldn't find a language selection option in IntelRST, so I added an English translation.
Although the HDD in question is connected via USB, it is not displayed in IntelRST.
thank you.
