Get seagate disk utility. put it on floppy/cd and run it. Check both HDDs via full scan. This will not destroy your RAID. I would suggest that you backup your important data.

Me thinks it's the drivers you're using. You swap drivers? I haven't used Nvidia raid since my 939 days.

Click to expand...

How do I do it then because the program is not seeing segate hdds just the raid array . Do I have to disable the raid then boot off my other os (xp 64) and test it ?

Dang . You're having some serious issues. I used the latest chipset drivers along with the latest Raid drivers and I did'nt run into any issues that you're having I would think you might have to test each drive seperately, but you might lose your data.

I know this isn't what you wanted to read, but I'm at a loss here too.

Ok i downloaded Seatools and burned it to a cd . Disabled the raid in bios used the tool on both drives . It found 3 errors and repaired them . Went back into bios and re enabled the Raid so far I haven't seen the Error in windows. I have been RaRing a few files @ the same time . So I hope that does it .
