I have an icon in the lower right tray that says Intel RST Service is not running. What does this mean, do I need to fix it and how do I fix it?

Hi,
That service is described here: http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/Q57/Q57-overview.htm about halfway down the page. It's not essential, but the most likely fix if you do have additional drives is to reload the sata driver from Intel most appropriate to your chipset.

I know this may not be exactly on the subject but comes along similar lines. I have Server 2008 R2 and have installed the drivers. My problem is, I cannot find the console. It is not in the programs folder and I cannot find the files on the C drive. Can anyone explain what is going on with this and how I can get the console to load. I have it on three other computers but cannot get it here.

Thank you very much!
I also had a similar issue - got a RAID warning that the backup drive (RAID 1) was failing plus the unfriendly message of "Youmay be able to backup your files" (emphasis added).
At the same time, I could not create a Windows Backup (failure in finding a necessary MUI file). Full checks of the drive didn't fix the problem and the system faulted twice (blue screen). I managed to get most of my stuff off the drive first but was dismayed I couldn't do a backukp.
After trying to do chkdsk a few times, the Windows Advisor came up and said a driver was missing in the RAID app - I went to the Intel site and downloaded the current RAID drivers. Crossing fingers, I went ahead and updated them - on reboot, got the same message you did (RST Service Not Running) - checking the Services, this service is on a delayed start so on startup that is to be expected. However in my case, after the reboot got the same RAID error.
From the Intel Help, they suggested trying to reset the RAID as "OK" (using the Intel RST console). I did this and did a reboot - I got the RST Service error but after a minute or so it started OK. To my surprise, I was able to do a full Windows Backup at that point as well! I'm not sure if all is totally fixed, but was happy to get the backup just in case!
