UNSOLVED
Is this legit or a BIG PROBLEM ?
Have had this new comp about 10 days. I am having a tough time with application dumps to desktop, complete system freezes, and system dumps to blue screen and am currently waiting for for replacement memory (I don't think that's the problem) but we'll see.
My specs are below but my questions is:
My drives are labeled in Windows Explorer and System Information as:
1. OS(C) 92.2 GB free of 138 GB ..... Drive C
2. DATAPART1(D) 298 GB free of 298 GB ..... Drive D ..... why is nothing shown on it?
3. RECOVERY(E) 5.02 GB free of 9.99 GB ..... Drive E
Is there a reason it shows like this (some Raid 0 quirk)? Is it an incorrect setup of my hard drives? Does this mean Drive D hard drive isn't working? Still searching for some answers and just want to make sure this is legit and I don't understand it because I am a NOOB :smileysad:
Thanks in advance

It looks like you just have a strange configuration with your drives. The WD Raptor is your primary drive with the OS C: and it also has the Recovery partition on it E: Your extra data storage which is RAID 0 with the two drives is shown as drive D:
Personally, having extra data storage on a RAID 0 is retarted and I would change it to a RAID 1 for data redundancy unless you do a ton of video editing. I would probably recommend reinstalling Windows if you are having a lot of problems with the factory image or atleast turn off the automatic restart on system error so you can see what might be causing the blue screens. Sounds like software problems are causing the blue screens. Just my 2 cents.
