| Hi I upgraded to Windows 7 last week all was fine until today. Now I keep getting there is an error on the hard drive raid 0. I have to turn it on and off 3 times then after 5-10 minutes it will load up. I have a Dell xps 420 nothing has been changed it's all as it was when I got it. |

| Might be a dead drive. How long have you had the PC? |

| Backup your data, all of it. Run chkdsk on both hard drives. Break the array as soon as possible, RAID 0 is about the stupidest thing you could ever do on any PC without SSDs.

| I had the computer about a year. And the error is on the main drive. I have 3 drives on my computer. C:/ With the operating system on. D:/ Thats a backup drive. Then my external backup drive. |

| You might well have to format and reset the RAID formation. Windows 7 might not work in RAID the same way Vista did.. |

| Did you run chkdsk through the start menu? You need to start a command prompt (cmd) first then type it in there.
