Hello
I am developing a C++ application which has to detect when a HDD stops
working properly.
HDDs are connected to a RAID controller, and the PC is running Windows XP.
How could I get a state, or a anything else? Is there a API funtion which is 
able to read the states from the controller?

Thanks for any idea or help.

Tobias
