Raid 0 crash. Error Occurred. Rebuilt Array. Nothing on Laptop to back up (backed up via MsDos CMD panel in system boot/repair so system is Clean).

Hey guys I have a real big problem with my raid 0 (Note I didn't want Raid 0 but it came preinstalled from dell) my laptop is an Alienware Mx17R3 running windows 7 home 1.5tb harddrive (2 750gb harddrives tied with Raid 0 to give 1 drive of 1.5tb) 16gb ram. 8gb memory.

A number of months ago i was trying to dual boot my laptop and during installation my laptop crashed (BSOD) i reset my laptop and it booted with Raid 0 Physical Drive 0 error Occurred.

Now the laptop boots. I have reinstalled windows and reset the array so both drive 0 and drive 1 read fine in green and I can do what I want on it for sometimes hours then all of a sudden the laptop will freeze causing me to force restart. Upon force restart the drive fails again. Now generally if the drive was carput surely I wouldnt be able to do anything with it?

I am just needing some advice has the drive had it? I have rebuilt the array loads of times and as i said it can work for hours and then laptop freeze/forced restart leading to Error Occurred.

I have currently deleted the Raid 0 array and tried installing on Non Raid for both drives to see if that works (at this point in time I just want to get my laptop working as i currently do not have the cash to splash with a wife out of work and a young son to look after)

I am just looking for advice and to see if I can save it without having to fork out to get it fixed.

Laptop is waaay out of warrenty and its a laptop I spend over 2k on before I was married. I want to fix it as it is a great laptop.

Any help is great help.

Thanks guys
 
There is propably some kind of malfunction with the other drive, you should check the smart details for the drives. You can do this with free software, for example Crystal Disk Info. Possibly post a screenshot of the smart status if needed.
