How to find bad drive in array

[thently]

I have a four disk raid 0 and it started bluescreaning on the iastore.sys file I think a drive is going bad but it passes the boot scan any ideas on how to locate the drive?

You'd have to run a hardware scan on each drive separately. What to you mean by "boot scan"? This a drive scan utility in the BIOS or something the RAID firmware does? The drive vendors should have utilities to scan the drives.

4 drives in RAID 0, you must like to live dangerously with your data. Hope you keep good backups.

If you interrupt the BIOS sequence at the point at which you configure the RAID setup, the RAID manager may show you the failed drive. Depends - what RAID controller and / or motherboard are you using?

And you do have backups, right?

+1 to wyoming knott. Backup your data if you need to before continuing. Use a boot disk plus the raid controller drivers if needed.
