Sorry to hear this man

I haven't got much to add, but the best way to test your Raptor would be to use something like the Ultimate Boot CD and give it a thrashing. I never trust the startup diagnosis [img]tongue.gif[/img] Plus it'll have Western Digital's own hard drive diagnostic and repair utilities on it as well as more generic ones.

Out of interest, why RAID 0? Do you really notice a speed increase that justifies the drop in reliability?

[Edit]If it turns out that your partition table is a bit knackered then gpart should be helpful.[/Edit]
