Hello, in my Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard, during the JMicron IDE Raid Controller screen where it lists the IDE drivers, the first hard drive (WD 750GB SATA II) shows has blue text but sometimes the second hard drive (Maxtor 250GB IDE) shows a blinking red text after this the computer continues to boot normally. I can't figure out why would the second one be showing red blinking text like if the drive is failing, also I been searching for a while in google but I havent found anything similar like this to happen to someone.

Could somebody help me with this problem?

Many people have reported problems/issues with the JMicron controllers, so it's best to avoid using them at all, if possible.

Regarding your specific question, presumably Asus tech support would know the error messages.
