Reinstall iscsi initiator on Server 2008

I having an issue I am believing with my iscsi initiator. I have 2 different iscsi storage products both connecting to the same server with the iscsi initiator in server 2008 R2. Product A uses has this funky integration kit that hooks into the server. When I bought my new storage appliance I removed this because I did not want it to cause issues with Product B. I can go into my initiator and put the discovery address for both arrays. The initiator will find the volumes for both arrays and let me connect to these volumes. However when I go to disk management I am only seeing the volumes for Product A. Product B never shows up. Nothing in Disk part either. I have done tests with opening the volume so all servers can see it instead of restricting to one server. I have attached the volume from Product B to a different server with no issue. It is just this 1 server that had this integration kit.
I would like to uninstall and reinstall the iscsi initiator for server 2008 but I cannot find that option any where. Am I blind? Can someone point me to where I can find it so I can do this last test?
Thank you

Hi,
As far as I know, Microsoft iSCSI Initiator is installed natively on Windows Server 2008 and thus cannot be removed or reinstalled.
The links in the article below might be useful to you:
