Default Help

My system wouldn't boot up, so I did a full reformat, and now this message comes up

"A drive in a RAID 0 Volume is failing. Try to back up data immediately."

What does this mean, and I don't have any important data on the comp anymore, so what's going on?

Pretty much what it says, and with it being a RAID 0, thats very very very very bad. RAID 0 is a no no in almost every respect. Very few instances where you should use it. If one drive in a RAID 0 fails, the entire RAID array is dead, for good, until the drive is replaced.

You will need to replace the drive the tools determine is bad and reformat/rebuild Windows again.

But first I'd make sure that all of the BIOS/Firmwares are up to date for the hard drives themselves as well as the RAID controller you're using.

I think the important distinction is that all data is lost immediately with a single drive failure in RAID 0.
