I'm getting a very strange problem with Vista64 Home Premium, searching the boards or google doesn't produce results. Every once in awhile (couple times a week) I lose write priveleges to my secondary hard drive for no apparent reason. Sometimes it happens immediately after boot, sometimes not until later. The exact error message is "The disk is write-protected. Remove the write protection or use another disk." Rebooting the machine fixes the problem. Just a note, I can read data from it just fine when this happens. Just wondering has anyone run into this before? Any ideas what's causing it, or better yet, how to fix it?

Windows Vsita Home Premium x64
Intel Core2 Duo E6750
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R
OCZ DDR2 4096MB @667MHz 5-5-5-15 OCZ2VU8004GK
XFX PVT80GGHD4 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB
Primary Drive: WD Raptor WD740GD 74GB
Secondary Drive: 2x 80GB Hitachi SATA RAID1(Mirror) on PROMISE FastTrak TX2300 PCI SATA II

Let me know if anyone needs more info
