    hi all
    i get this balloon in my task bar at least once a day telling me that one of my sdd drives has failed but there is nothing wrong with the data it reads and writes OK and boots and plays games ok ?

    any reason why its telling me this or anyway to fix this.

    thank you
    mike

    I have had this happen also, said the raid controller has stopped working. I reinstalled the nvidia raid drivers and so far it has not happen again?

    i thought it would have something to do with the drivers. as ive just installed the new driver.
    mandrake> if i see it again ill try a screen shot, its one of those things that only stay on for a few seconds and disappears.
    its quite rare in seeing it.
