Data Loss on P4P800 Deluxe

I have googled this and didn't find any solutions. I have a RAID 1 setup
with the onboard VIA controller and have random files disappearing. It
happens very infrequenly but is very obvious when it does. For example, I
can transfer some files from my main hard drive to my mirrored set and half
of the files inside can be missing after the transfer. I haven't flashed my
bios yet, but was interested if anyone else out there have experienced this.

Thanks in advance

Just some ideas:

What happens if you break the RAID?
If it still happens, then if you swap back to only the other disc, does it
still happen with the other disc?
Yes == I would suspect a stuffed controller. If its IDE check the
cables.
No?
I would suspect the drive or cable.

Do you have adequate power on the system?

Do you mean this problem ?

You might want to look in Event Viewer, to see if the system has
been logging any Delayed Write failures. Maybe your system has been
hinting about a problem all along.
