You did not say if you have a RAID 0 or RAID 1 array. If you have a RAID 0
array, what you want to do is impossible. Every piece of data is split
between the two disks. If you have a RAID 1 array you simply need to break
the array and reformat the remaining drive and do a fresh install of
Windows.

You'll need a third drive (or someplace else to backup to) to copy all your
data to. You could ghost the array to the third drive, pull the drive you
want, then ghost the image back to the remaining drive.
