"Play it safe" at this point would mean to do the full export A.S.A.P. targeting mapped network drive with sufficient space, and if you get lucky - you will see "Export terminated successfully without warnings." message and you'll know you'll be fine no matter what happens next to your Windows box.

By the sound of it - you have faulty hardware at hand - "cooked" RAM (or bad RAM chip without ECC), or "mad" RAID controller, or ..., in which case increasing RAID storage size while reinstalling Windows will not amount to much (ultimately - corruption problem will be back)...  

Have a good and hard look at that hardware.
