I had a simular problem. A database program crashed and later a BSOD occured while running the database again. Then the raid drive 1 failure was reported in bios (Intel raid option bios 8 on ASUS gene iii) at restart and in the RST manager after boot. Strange it says the drive is 'not accessible', although the array boots and all the files seem to be there. I clicked 'set to normal' to clear the error in the RST manager and did a check disk -repair on another reboot. The failure has not reappeared in bios or the RST manager. I tried upgrading the driver from 10 to 12 in device manager, but the RST manager service would not start, so I reverted the driver to 10 in device manager. Using Windows 7 64, with raid 0, 2 - 1TB drives for C boot and single partition is encrypted with TrueCrypt. Running about 5 days a week for three years. Hopefully any bad sector is already locked out on the controller.
