I'm having a problem troubleshooting an AMD RAID issue with a GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard. It is RAID 1 and the RAID is for the OS, which is 32bit XP SP3.
Symptoms:
I got the message "logical drive "AMD LD 1" goes critical," and one of the hard drives in the array wasn't viewable in the bios. The drive would then re-appear and the AMD software would show that it was rebuilding the array. It would rebuild on it's own until the next time the drive was lost - a week or two.
This was going on for awhile, then on it's own the two drives became "uncoupled" and there was a new drive "D". The other drive is still part of a RAID 1.
I think the best thing may be to just get rid of the RAID and run the OS from an individual drive instead of RAID 1.
I invoke the AMD RAID utility by hitting Ctrl-F when booting.
Option 3 on the menu is "Delete LD" and it says all data will be lost. Since it is raid 1, will it actually lose the data and OS?
Any ideas what went wrong with the RAID in the first place? Again, one of the drives vanished from the BIOS and Administrative Tools - disk management. I updated to the latest drivers at one point and it made no difference.
Thanks!
