Im stumped. Whenever I turn my rig on in the morning, it goes through POST perfectly but gives an error when starting windows. The errors vary, Ive had corrupt file, invalid checksum, no operating system.'
If I reset at this stage, everything will work fine and Vista loads up. Likewise, and reset or shut down restart from that point onwards will work perfectly.
Next morning however, the fault returns. It seems like my rig doesnt start well when cold.
Any ideas on what may be causing this?
FYI, I run RAID 1+0 and one of the drives is noisy (I dont know which one) in that Im sure the head is hitting the platter (thats what it sounds like). All I can think of is that the faulty drive is not starting up, thus causing the problem. IS there any way I can run diagnostics on RAID drives?
