existing raid 0 to another PC?

[seed091279]

I have 2 Sata drive setup as raid 0 before, and now I have another set of PC and i want put these 2 sata drives into my new PC. the problem is i also get rid of the old pc, and i can't image the hdd now.

is it possible not to delete the array and build a new one? coz i want the data back.

Not unless the other mobo has the same exact chip - and you would be pushing it some anyway.

Yes, if the RAID controller is the same chip, you're probably in luck. Othewise, probably not.

You might be able to get a SATA RAID card with the same SATA chipset as on your old mobo. That might work. Luckily most of them are cheap.

the 2 sata raid 0 was connected to Promise FastTrak TX2Plus. and now even i plug this card to the new PC, I can only see that's an array in the boot up, and the actual hdd isn't seen in windows.

any ideo?

Try swaping the connections. I wouldn't be surprised if a drive's position in the array is a factor.

Back-up your data, then delete the raid array, reinstall the os and then recopy the data back to raid array.

Yes, be sure the drives are connected to the same channels as they were.
