Have a quad core workstation that was running WinXP_64 that I want to blow away and install CentOS 6.  C6 install process finds raid metadata associated with sda and sdb, and then excludes them from the rest of the installation process.

There doesn't appear to be an option for disassembling the raid as part of the install process.  I think there should be.

Any tricks to removing/by-passing the soft raid left over from the previous OS?

Can you see the 2 HDD's in the console, when you run fdisk -l?

If so, then simply use fdisk to remove all the partitions, then use the installer to partition and format them
