Actually, there are more forms of RAID than that, Puckdropper. You've only described RAID1

JellyHead I can't be sure what's happened there. In fact I'm not particularly familiar with RAID setups in any case. Perhaps the system has had RAID configured, and formatting a drive has disabled it. In any event, if disabling the entry causes the error message to go away, and the system still runs fine, then leave it disabled.

Perhaps other people more familiar with RAID might have alternative advice, but for now I'd simply uncheck the entry and leave it at that

Woops, my bad.

I assumed that the "adapter" the message was referring to was your network adapter, because most normal home-use systems don't have use RAID. In your boyfriend's case, it sounds like he doesn't really have a RAID controller (the "adapter" in this case, from the sounds of it) installed/enabled either, but somehow the RAID administration software got enabled. Upon not finding any RAID devices to administer, the RAID software barfed up the "no adapter" message.

If your boyfriend truly doesn't have a RAID setup, you should be able to just leave the administration program disabled and everything will be OK.

Quite a few, as a matter of fact:
