Lightbulb Sounds like what Paul said...........

As Paul says, sounds more like a RAID control panel/status monitor to me.

Couple of ways to check -

1) Whip the side of the PC and have a look how many hard disks you have - if it's more than one you may well have a RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks IIRC) where two or more disks are "seen" by the PC as one disk for data protection and/or speed.
This is the "quick and dirty" way , then if you find two or more hard disks -

2) Assuming you're running Windows XP, right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties", click on the "Hardware" tab, click on the "Device Manager" button, click on the + by "Disk Drives" and have a look at the description for your hard disk - it may say something like "SiS RAID Array Disk Device" or similar, right click the disk device and select "Properties", click on the "Volumes" tab and click "Populate", it will list which volumes or partitions are on that device.

Should give you an idea whether you have RAID or not, I would guess you could probably just uninstall the utility any way as they usually don't do much except display the current RAID status.
