I recently reformatted a PC and changed my HDD arrays around. I changed it around when reformatting and put 2x 1TB WD Blacks in a RAID 0 for the main system drives. I partitioned them 150 GB (Vista) 150GB (Windows 7) and the rest for data. It worked fine for a week.. then I got an issue in the intel raid manager saying an error occured on the array. I turned the pc off and back on a few times and it went from that to an error on one of the 1 TB hard drives. Not wanting to deal with it, I took the hard drives to Bestbuy and just swapped both drives (even though they werent bought there haha) got home made a new array same as before formatted it, then today one of the 1 TB Hdds had a problem again. I have tried using different ports and cables with no success. A few minutes ago though it booted up dispite the problem.. I also got a windows error message saying that windows files were missing or corrupt due to a recent software or hardware change. Is it really likely I have another bad drive? Or is there something else going on with these new WD 1TB drives?

One last detail... I did flash the bios when reformatting, dunno if anyone has run into a prob like that before...

probably something weird with the raid controller.. if you have another system try throwing those drives in it.. or an external hard drive case and see if they mess up in it..

also you can try running WD's diagnostic program to check the drives.. or get HD tune pro
 
hrmm, well I did that, I went and enabled that, and I think it worked.. (Most of you would laugh at me trying to find a floppy disc and drive. I ended up needing 2 pc's to do it, one for power for it and the data cable to my main PC. haha, so it ended up hanging between the two computers)
Anyways.. I got the same screen as was in another hard forum post.. But now that I enabled it, do I need to recreate my RAID volume to make that one drive stop erroring? Or can i somehow re add the drive that dropped to my RAID?
