@Dark Mantis - The new machine is coming with 2 new 1Tb drives with W-7 loaded so those will be the boot drive.
These older drive were configured with an intel supplied raid driver that I down loaded when I set up the drives about a year ago. The old machine cpu over heated when I did a vacuum job to clean out several months dust. I forgot to put the air shroud over the CPU and southbride chips and they fried in about 10 minutes after I started the machine.
I want to set up my old drives on the new machine and do it with destroying about 300 Gb's of family photos and a bunch of other things loaded on the drives. Not sure how to check wheter the old drive were sata2 drive, however I beleive they were. Worst case scenario I could copy the contents from one of the old drives reraid the old drivers and reload their data but I am not sur if that is possible and certanly do not prefer that approach.
Thx
Bob
