RAID Volume Error?

I'm getting a RAID Volume Error everytime I turn on my PC.
It says something about RAID 0.
I don't know how to stop it and now I need to Diagnose & Repair my connection to my wireless network everytime I turn it on too.

Anyone know how to help?

Is your Raid set up?

(Raid 0 is striped, so it saves data across the disks to increase performance when you have 2 hard drives)

You can change bios settings to turn Raid off.

Is your network adapter drivers up to date and try restarting your router.

Raid 0, as entrance said, it uses 2 hard drives like they are 1 hard drive. It sounds like 1 of your hard drives may have failed and you have run out of diskspace because of it or just the failure alone has confused your RAID.

If you've been playing with any configuration recently it could be that.

I don't understand what either of you have just said. :(
I'll try restarting my router later, thanks.

You said RAID Volume error.

RAID is a function, a chip on your mobo that allows you to use several hard drives (depending on the number after raid)

RAID 0 means Striped. This is when the computer makes use of two hard drives and writes to both of them...

So if i wrote 2 files for example 1 could go on the first hard drive and the 2nd go on the second hard drive

RAID 0 is used to improve performance.

Do you have 2 hard drives? :P

Stephen!

Im guessing he bought a pre-built PC with RAID0 set up.

As for the hard drives, if one of the hard drives gets a little corrupted, thats it. Windows wouldn't boot at all.

Not really effective, cause if you have 4 partitions doesn't mean you have 4 hard drives :P

Hey, sorry to bump but it's still a major problem and I think I can help you to help me with it a bit more (at anyone).

This has happened and one has failed and my space is full (in recovery) as was said by iUnknown.

I really want to sort it out as it doesn't let me play any songs or games because the CDs aren't read.

Thanks.

What precisely is the error message you are getting when you start up your computer? (Word for word, not something about something..)

Also, what computer do you have? (Manufacturer, model..)

Yeah the 0 in Raid0 is the amount of files you'll get back if it dies ;D

I think I know how I caused it to happen now.
I used a couple of programs to burn a movie onto my PC. I'm thinking that's what's done it. :blue_doub

I have a Dell.

I had the exact same problem I had to delete my RAID0 volume from BIOS than set it up again and re-install windows and it was fine and worked perfect after that and the error went.

oh lord.
That means I'll lose all my files and everything?
I have no idea how to delete, set it up or reinstall windows. :(

Yeah you would have to backup your stuff you wanted first onto a portable hard drive or something.

Also when your PC starts up you should see your hard drives somewhere saying something like their model and size and stuff and what raid type their in and somewhere it will say 'Press X key to set change configs or something along those lines' you just go into that delete and setup again the menu is really east to use.

Than if you have to put your windows disc in after setting it back up and you should be of again although if your not to expearienced with bits like that your better of getting a mate who does just incase.

Although I left mine for a while cause it didn't really affect anything but it is best to sort it out as soon as possible.

Yeah, I've had it since I started this thread and now I've just got fed up with it as I can't install any games on it or put on music...

Thanks for your help.
