RAID 0 – An error has occurred?
My computer has 2 750GB hard drives in RAID 0. When I went to start it up today, it says that an error has occurred beside one of the disks. It says it it still bootable, but I can’t get the PC to start Windows. Should I just do system recovery and re-install the operating system? What would happen if I used the remove RAID 0 option?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks, If I remove raid 0, will it delete my HP recovery partition?
No matter what you do you are going to lose all your files,documents and your OS….After that you would have to build the array again and do a clean install of your OS and all your programs etc….Running raid 1 (mirrored drives)is much safer,but you lose the performance of raid0….
update—-Yes you will lose the partition also…Anything you had on those 2 drives will be wiped out once you break the array down…..
You will have to start all over again….

It may be possible that one of the hard drives has died. I would suggest trying to reinstall the OS first, and removing RAID 0 won’t help you much, because all your data is split between the two hard drives, meaning that if you remove RAID 0 you lose all your data. Although, if you want to use just 1 hard drive, you could remove RAID 0 for that.
