Default

this error probably occurs at boot time before the primary raid drivers are fully loaded... try clearing your prefetch folder
there is a program floating around that will do this for you that should resolve things
but if your system runs fine other wise and if your event logs are not full of these entries just ignore it
/HTH

: Don't deinstall the raid drivers!

: what

: Is it RAID related or is it that the RAID Controller cannot find

:
: Your help/comments are appreciated.
