4.14 Uninstalling the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition
4.14.1 Uninstall Warning
Warning
CRITICAL WARNING
: Removing the Intel Storage Utility from a system
that has been configured as RAID will DELETE ALL EXISTING DATA
from the RAIDcontrolled hard drive(s) and the data cannot be recovered.
It is critical that you backup all important data before proceeding.
Uninstalling the Intel Application Accelerator would render all data on any existing RAID
Volumes inaccessible and therefore it cannot be automatically uninstalled. It is recommended
that any RAID volume be deleted before disabling the Intel 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller.
Disabling the Intel 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller would re-enable the SATA controller and
the operating system would no longer use the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition driver.
For instructions on how to manually uninstall the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition,
please refer to Section 4.10.2 titled ‘Windows* XP / Windows 2000’.
