I will report back and let you know if it was a bad drive or if maybe Vista has some issues with RAID5 on this controller (if I can validate that).
OK, well Seagate drive scan (SeaTools) went fine on all drives. So it wasn't a drive failure. I am wondering now if the AV that I installed prior to these issues (Avast!) was the problem. I can't think of anything else that may have caused it. I installed Avast about an hour or two before I started seeing all the issues...With that in mind, what AV program are you guys using and especially curious if anyone is using RAID5 with it? I am wondering if I ran into a weird compatibility issue between Avast and the RAID5 setup...

I am in the process of rebuilding everything (started from scratch again, destroyed RAID array and rebuilt and have reinstalled Vista). Is the following update necessary for Vista systems?

INF: Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility

I'll be sure and post again if I see the drive errors again, but so far so good...
