Folks, I would really appreciate your help. I have an XP setup with a RAID 0 array. It's worked beautifully throughout 09, never a problem. Last night, the PC starts being a little weird. The mouse works, but otherwise it "hangs". Running the DVD in and out will wake it up.
I decide to run a Macrium image. When I get up this morning the RAID controller has popped up a message saying the data on the two drives may be inconsistent, and do I want to fix? Sure....
Lightening flash, power burps. I turn the PC back on and during the BIOS screen, the RAID array is greyed out and says "conflict". Boot continues until right before the splash screen, at which point it says "Missing NTLDR".
NOW....I can boot from EITHER disk. It says, of course, RAID Degraded. But either disk working independently works fine: I'm posting from one now.
So, is this a "thing" that happens? Is it a sign that either a drive, or my MOBO based controller is going out? How do I fix?
