Question : P55 , disk 0 (OS) + RAID 1 (data - DISK1 and 2) , os reinstallation

I helped a friend one year or even longer ago with installing a RAID 1 into his desktop. So his specification is like the following

-p55 chipset

-1 hard disk with windows 7 (32bit) DISK 0

-2* 2TB (DISK1 and DISK 2) hard disk put into raid 1(mirroring) conifguration - by activating in bios i think and synching with intel rapid storage technology software.

But at this point in time he added more memory and new graphics card with more memory so having a 32 bit OS is outdated ( TOLD HIM! :p). So now the plan is to install windows 64bit windows 7 and my question is which scenario does he need to follow.

Scenario A)

a)delete raid1 - into 2 seperate disk and how exactly?

b)install windows 7 on DISK 0

c)install intel rapid technolgy

d) create raid 1 again for DISK 1 and DISK 2

or can he do the following also

Scenario B)

a) just format and instal windows 7 on DISK 0

b) install intel rapid technology

c)check if eveythign works

Or somethign completly different.
