As afore mentioned Sata / Raid Driver software, more commonly bundled with NForce Motherboards - Important device when using SATA HDD - you may end this process if you are using IDE only

This is not a driver. It's a monitor for the status of your RAID. It is not essential for the operation of your RAID. You can safely disable it on startup in MSCONFIG. Mine incorrectly reports failures when there are none and read operations in fact succeed (maybe my drives are slow). You don't really need to monitor your RAID from the OS. It's just a convenience. You can do everything you need from the BIOS.
