As I always do when I see people doing this, I will tell you: DON'T.
RAID0 is dangerous and offers negligible benefit for everyday computing. Unless you're having to stream large files in realtime (a la capturing raw HD video or working with many streams of compressed HD), there is no reason to run RAID0. The likelihood of data loss doubles. If you really want RAID, get a decent controller and three drives and do RAID5. Performance goes up and you don't sacrifice your data's integrity.
And yes, your current troubles sound like either bad drivers or imminent hard drive death.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
killmoms - Well, don't really.
