Oh really?
You've been running RAID-0 since the year that the Pentium 200Mhz was introduced?
Reeeeally.

try running chkdsk /f at a command prompt. it will ask you to reboot then it will scan for errors and fix any it finds.

^ Raid makes everything that uses the disk much faster. period.
As far as loading game levels and the like, it depends on the game. A big part of level loading is that the CPU is compiling the level for your use- not just loading the game from disk. Some games require more CPU usage before entering the level, some are more just waiting for the level to load from disk- depends on the game.
All I know is that, without exception- every single time for months now- I am the first to enter the newly loaded levels in BF2 by a pretty big margin. Those servers that don't have time limits before the game starts are where this makes the biggest difference- because I am capping flags before the second guy of the 64 total makes it into the game. So, YES, RAID makes a big difference (in addition to a fast comp, of course).
If you go on that crappy RAID review that anandtech did that tested one raid controller, on one game, then made a blanket statement "RAID isn't worth it and doesn't speed up games" - then I can see why you'd think that. It depends on many factors - the main one being how much money you are willing to spend on your equipment.

Ehh... no.
RAID does nothing for your seek times. If you run any form of disk activity on a RAID-0 array of, say, two 10ms seek time Seagates vs. a 5ms 10,000rpm SCSI drive, then the SCSI drive will win.
