"a raid volume is degraded because of failed hard drives" I have service pack 3. the computer came to me after being ordered online from dell. by edition I assume it's a home edition vs. a business edition
clicking on the red blinking light took me to the hard drive and here are a few details about it:
status failed device port 0 native command queuing support no current serial ata transfer mode generation 1
