A friend of mine has following system:
 
Athlon 1.2 GHz (133 MHz bus)
Asus KT133A RAID
IBM ata100 30GB
Hercules geforce 2 pro (detonators 10.80)
SBlive value
512 MB ram PC133 (no brand)
Win2k professional
 
PATCHES:
========
Windows Service pack 2
Latest via drivers (4.32 i believe)
Win2k AMD PATCH
latest ata100 drivers from asus
 
 
PROBLEM:
========
 
While in win2k (playing as well as just typing or surfing) he hears his harddrive "shut down" (i dunno how to call that noise, that clicking sound when you shutdown your computer) and his computer reboots. After the boot he gets "DISK BOOT FAILURE". Then he pushes reset and win2k boots fine.
 
The reboots occur at random times. Sometimes it can be after a few minutes, other times after a few hours.
 
We have tried virtually everyting. We think it's not a hardware failure of his harddrive, as he has doen several checks with norton disk doctor and win2k scandisk.
 
 
Does/has anyone have/had this problem? All suggestions are welcome as we really don't know what to do anymore.
 
Thanks a lot.

Yeah, check to make sure you have the correct drivers for the Promise controller installed, as I believe the ones for RAID are the correct ones.
