Hello All,
I've used this site previously for research and I generally default here, however, this is my first post so please forgive me if I've posted this thread in the wrong area.
Now to the point! I have a new Home Build (About 1 month now) and I would consider myself an advanced user. I built my own system and had it evaluated and passed by a professional system builder.
Bottom line, things have been fine until the other day when I started normally and received an error message during bootup on the initial BIOS screen when it was analyzing the RAID Array. I have an ASUS Maximus II Formula MoBo and have 2 250gb Seagate Barracuda's set to a 0 RAID configuration. The BIOS screen reports an error to one of my drives and when I boot into the OS it gives me an error message in the taskbar stating, "RAID VOLUME ERRORS: Some data requests to a hard drive in a RAID 0 volume failed but a back-up may be possible. Please try to back-up data immediately." When I x out of that message, I recieve an icon in the taskbar that states, "A drive in a RAID 0 volume is failing. Try to back up data immediately." The Intel Matrix Storage Console reports the error when it's double clicked on the taskbar and all information seems to point to the same drive as all numbers match.
I've contacted Seagate and downloaded and ran SeaTools with both drives and the suspect drive reported errors, however, according to the program, it repaired the errors, I re-ran the program and it then passed the drive, but I'm still getting the red lettered error message for the drive on the BIOS startup screen and the taskbar is still reporting the error. I've checked all of the corresponding entries in my Device Mngr and they all report no problems.
Seagate Tech Support tells me that it's possible my RAID controller is hexxed or my MoBo is bad which I don't believe to be the case. My computer appears to boot fine and the only issue appears to be the error message with the drive.
On a last note, my ASUS MoBo Bios reports that the working drive is hooked to Port 0, whereas, the failing drive is connected to Port 1, yet according to the MoBo layout map, I have each drive connected to Ports 1 and 2 simultaneously with the problem drive hooked to Port 1 and the good drive hooked to Port 2 according to ASUS's directions.
I'm thoroughly confused as to my problem and ANY advice would really be appreciated!
