PERC S100 Virtual Disk Management- initialize not available- physical disks NOT SELECTABLE
In Virtual Disk Management, I am not able to initialize physical disks. Probably because in the Physical Disks fireld 0-4, DVDCD, ATAPI are all listed together so I am unable to select the physicial disks. I get the message "NOT SELECTABLE" Any suggestions?

Actually those are the steps I took that lead me to this problem. I am not able to initialize the physical disks to RAID or NONRAID. I get NOT SELECTABLE message.

This is Windows Small Server 2011 with 2 1T SATA drives set to a single virtual drive with RAID 1. I would like to set to NO RAID but as stated before am unable to do initialize the SATA's in VDM because the physical disks are NOT SELECTABLE.

Thank you for sending the link to the manual. Since my objective is to set to nonraid, can I do that in the SATA settings of BIOS and change setting from RAID TO AHCI?
