    intel matrix storage console pops up when windows starts stating one of the hard drives is failing. hardware related or maybe the software raid program is corrupt and can be corrected?

    and also during bootup on the diagnostic screen one of the raid hard drives reads as an error or maflunction but so far everything runs normal. strange.

    Backup all your data. Now. Don't use the computer for anything else but backing up your data.

    yes i have backed everything up to the 3rd internal non-raid hard drive as soon as i saw this error :)

    since this laptop has software-based raid i am curious if this is a software-raid corruption that can be remedied by re-installing raid drivers or something? i do have warranty so it will not cost anything to replace beside time and hassles of re-installing everything :(

    nvm, no way around it but to replace the failing hard drive and re-install everthing. this time i am going with raid 5 to avoid another 12 hour manual re-instal of all my crap lol.
