1. Boot the Linux system into single user mode.
2. Open a terminal window and type ‘mdadm –stop /dev/mdX’ (where X is the RAID device).
3. Type ‘mdadm –remove /dev/mdX’.
4. Type ‘mdadm –zero-superblock /dev/sdX’ (where X is the hard drive you want to remove from the RAID configuration).
5. Type ‘mdadm –examine /dev/sdX’ to verify that the hard drive is no longer part of the RAID array.
6. Reboot the system normally.
