Raid Help
« on: July 22, 2011, 06:16:35 pm »
Hi,

So a couple years ago I build a system with a gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard and made a raid 0 configuration on it. IEverything was working fine until the mobo died after I moved to a new house. Now I had 90% of everything I needed backed up like I always do, but there is some information on those drives that I need of of it.

I am building a new system and I am looking at the GA-Z68XP-UD4 motherboard for my new pc. My question is will the raid 0 transfer over or am i screwed unless i can somehow find another GA-EX58-UD4P to rebuild the system on?

If the raid doesnt transfer over is there a controller card or software that I can buy to try and save the little data that I need off of these drives.

Thanks for your responses!

No problem with your new motherboard because that is also INTEL ICH

1 - plug the 2 * old harddisks

2  - program in BIOS the INTEL port in RAID mode

3 - start and key F12 for search your normal boot disk ( ossible problem if you have installed in IDE mode but exist a little hack for this in AHCI / RAID )

4 - with windows at this time you can find your old RAID running and find your datas if you have not destroyed the RAID partitions

5 - for find old partitions killed ... you can use testdisk ( very fine )

Thank you sooo much for your quick reply...you have no idea how happy this news makes me :). I mean thankfully it wasnt any files I cannot live without, but it is nice to know I can get them back and have them backed up properly now.

Exist some good comptibility

My exemple : ASUS P5E-WS PRO ( INTEL Processor ... + also ICHxx )

I use my old RAID 10 ( 4 * 500GB )

I start the new computer with GigaByte GA-XA-UD5

and ... Windows start normal ... search new drivers ... and all is OK

Only a little add-on with Windows tool devcon.exe for remove the old drivers used by the ASUS P5E-WS PRO ...

Fine , fine , fine
