Raid0 Disk Failure

I am not having much luck...after 1 drive dying, I turned on the PC today and 1 of the drives was red in the ICHR9 bootup screen.

Windows worked as normal, but then stopped working. I deleted the array and re-created it, and its green again. Reinstalling Windows now

The only thing that was left running was Windows Update. Is it possible it downloaded a "rogue" driver? Would it have caused the HD to fail in the array?

Thanks for that, I tried restarting and shutting down and it wouldnt go away, eventually Windows stopped working.

I have reinstalled Windows and seems fine...for now!

I do prefer it, Vista feels way better I must say, you do notice it and the reviews that say you don't perplex me but if this keeps happening I will end up going to a single drive, which I hope does not happen.

Rubbish.

Your system just isn't setup correctly.

I have tried Raid0 on a number of occasions and l always go back to my 150 GB Raptor as my boot drive.

I agree with this, I never really got much hard drive thrash, the only time you might do is initial first sessions after install. Then again I do I have 8gb RAM.

On the contrary, the little things like installers being faster, games loading quicker etc is more than enough for me to give it a thumbs up.
