One morning I open my pc normally without doing any changes or anything the time before. Suddenly a little windows pop-up near the clock (on the right) pops up saying that data will be lost on a secondary hard drive. It even gives me the location. I wouldn’t bother too much if it was only one but it kept going. I quickly closed the pc and reboot it (I was scared as heel). I said to myself that it may only be like a one time thing. When I rebooted it, it did it again. I quickly tried to back-up my stuff to my other hard drive because it could be because it is failing. When I started transferring stuff to it, the little pop-ups stated saying that on my other drive was loosing data as well. Now I closed my PC for good and unplugged both hard drives. Now I’m running on my C drive. This is how they are set up: -C Drive: 120gigs in IDE mode (plugged to the motherboard by IDE cable) -D Drive: 200gigs in RAID mode (plugged to a Promise RAID Controller and then to the motherboard with RAID cables) -E Drive: 200gigs in RAID mode (plugged to a Promise RAID Controller and then to the motherboard with RAID cables) I have one of my 200 gigs almost entirely full and I can’t afford to lose that data. Is there anybody who knows how to fix my problem? And is there a way to back-up files in any other way then using hard drives, flash memory and cd’s? Thanks!

Scan you system with a good anti virus program. Download and run the two spyware programs, Lavasoft's "Ad-aware 6" and 'Spybot search and Destroy".

adaware and spybot are both good programs but I tried them both, and bot left files that neither of them could shift. The following link has a much better program, download cleanup, its the biz, shifted everything http://cleanup.stevengould.org (C) Steven R.

If your C Drive is OK, then the RAID controller could be faulty, as the two drives that are failing are connected via RAID. Did you stripe or mirror the drives? If you mirrored them, you should be able to rescue the data off one of them by connecting it via IDE. Hope this helps.
