Recently I usually got a message : RAID access failure: Access failure critical erro on disk ST375063AS ( port: SATA 1.0)

When i get this message, all my programs stop running, Ihave to reboots too many times in ordre to get rid of this message, but it still pop up quite often

My system is : Vista 64 bit Home preminum

Model m8530f

Processor AMD Phenom 9550 QUad Core 2.20GHz

Memory  : 5GD

Any help is appropriate,

You're running RAID 0 or 1?  The risk of data corruption is too high for me to recommend RAID.  If you want speed, then invest in a Raptor drive or the newer WD Cavair Black.  Set the primary active C partition between 16 and 32GB.  This will keep all your windows files on the fastest area of the hard drive (average +60MB/sec read/write speed).  Move the pagefile, My Documents, and Outlook Express to an extended logical partition D after the C partition.  Same logic will all data and programs.  The goal is to keep the OS partition C as small as possible.  VISTA is a pig, but you can still reduce the footprint down to about 4.5GB.
