... What is this ? I run chkdsk and found no problem. I marked the disk as normal using Intel storage manager and it runs fine. Still I worry. Any suggestions? Thanks If the drives in the array are not designed for RAID use it could be a timing error. RAID relies on very exact timing of read/writes. Many consumer drives can't meet these requirements. When this happens you will see errors from the controller. This can be exacerbated by the fact that the Intel onboard RAID chips don't have their own CPU. They use the computer's CPU to do a lot of the work. If you are running a program that maxes the CPU and you have drives not designed for RAID you will see these errors on a regular basis. Eventually the controller will think the array has a bad drive and take one of the drives offline. When this happens you may lose all the data on the array. At the very least this error is a warning that something is wrong and need further investigation. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ http://vistahelpca.blogspot.com/ |
