    It may be a degraded RAID. Try these steps to rebuild it

    If that doesn't do it, you can always delete and re-create the RAID array.

    Hi,

    Swap the HDD's, to see if you get the same error. Also, check the BIOS and make sure both HDD's are being recognized under integrated devices.

    I have tried all these things, nothing helps ... the same error will reoccur after first one or two reboots installing windows.
    It looks like it helps deleting RAID0 array and recreating it, then you try to reinstall the system and it keeps giving exactly the same error over and over again no mater how many times you recreate RAID array, no matter what stripe size you choose from 4k to 128k its still same issue. Swapping drives around or different ports does not help either.
    So just to confirm
