Hey folks, this is quite an intermittant issue, but I am not sure what would cause it.
System spec;
Q9450 / Asus Rampage Formula X48 / 4Gb OCZ Ram / 2 x Samsung F1 1TB drives in RAID0 array / Windows Vista ultimate.
Anyhow;
Sometimes, I will turn the PC on, and it will come up;
BOOTMGR missing or some other similar message.
If I power down the PC from the mains, and try again, it will most likely work perfectly, or certainly if I turn off again, then on, it will work fine.
It will the work fine for days.
This is intermittant, I could be using my PC now, shut it down, and this afternoon boot it up, and it happens again, or it may not happen again for a week or so!
On the Raid array screen just after POST, when the above happens, it's usually showing 'failed' under one of the drives.
To me, it could be either;
RAID Controller faulty...
One of the HD faulty...
It's been happening for about 3 months or so on and off, and I backup my data, but neither drives show errors etc and are over a year old.
