Here is how my screen looks like when this problem occurs. It is always after a cold start:
I am not sure how, but sometimes, It helps to just do the XpressRecovery on my system. The computer is a no-name brand from Norways largest computer store, it is running a Gigabyte PE35-DS4 motherboard, BIOS has been flashed to F6, the latest I could find. The drives are two 10 000 RPM disks set to run raid0 (I work with large images)
I have had this issue for a long time, leaving my computer on at all time to avoid having to cold start it. I have no idea why the second drive goes missing - once it's up, all verification software I've tried report nothing out of the ordinary.
Could you guys help me figure out what is wrong? should I perhaps set a jumper or so on the hard drives to make them spin up in sync or something? (I read somewhere that AHCI is implied on RAID configurations, which among other things spins up one drive at the time - since these are 10k rpm drives, I speculate that maybe the second drive just takes too long to reach it's RPM)
In advance, thanks for reading, I hope for a quick solution to this, it's been bugging me for 3 years or so now :)
