Question [SOLVED] Backup Help Please!

Hello.

I have a home-made workstation that I need some help with. It works well, most of the time. It randomly just gives me stop errors or won't work or such. Sometimes Windows tells me that I need to upgrade the BIOS, but it only tells me that sometimes.

It has 4 250 GB Western Digital drives (SATA), but only 3 are working. When I got it overhauled because it was being annoying, the Fry's people gave me a RAID 0+1 configuration. So, I want to reformat, I'm thinking that will solve my problem. Only thing is, it has so much software and data that it would take me forever.

Any ideas? I don't really have too much time. I was thinking maybe a disk image? Only, how do I do that? Will the image retain the RAID? How will I do it? Oh, I don't know. Thanks in advance for any help. If this is in the wrong place, I'm sorry. I'm new here.

Welcome to TSF, kasraie123

Can't offer much help with the reformat, but have you considered posting the error messages to see if anyone can provide a solution?
