BSOD when opening firefox error 0x000000d1

I'm assuming you are referring to going into the RAID controller and deleting my existing array and creating another? If this is the main cause of this issue I am not opposed to doing away with the RAID setup altogether and just running each drive separately, but would I be inviting a whole new host of problems besides having to restore my data by doing that?

Do you have a hardware RAID, software RAID, or hybrid RAID? I'm trying to read up on these to determine if removing your RAID setup will cause any issues. This really isn't my forte, so if you want better advice, I would suggest starting a thread in Hardware and Devices asking the same question posed in your previous post.

I'm afraid your guess is as good as mine. Its whatever the RAID controller is that came with the MOBO. If I am gong to lose all my data anyways (which I have backed up) I may as well rid myself of the root cause of the problem while I am at it. I just don't want some other unforseen issues by doing it. I will post something in the hardware forums and see what can be discovered there.

You should use your extra 600 GB drive as a backup drive after disabling the RAID controller. If you want help with backing up your system, see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/663-backup-complete-computer-create-image-backup.html?ltr=B and http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/73828-imaging-free-macrium.html (I use the second one myself as it is an easier interface and less likely to be corrupted).

I have deleted the RAID array and have windows installing on a single drive right now. Crossing my fingers that this fixes my problem.

While it was a bit drastic sometimes it is necessary to make such changes. So far I have not experienced the problems I had before, but I hoped I wouldn't considering its a fresh install and hardware configuration. Thanks again for your help!
