I'm going to update my current bios on my motherboard.
Right now I'm using a raid 0 setup on my HP bios that is version 2.31.
The new bios going to change to has 2.32.
Do I need to make a new raid setup for the 2.32?
Or does the 2.31 config work with 2.32 also?

This a clip from the readme file from the new biso (b5)

When you upgrade bios from old version to B5, we highly recommend you backup
your system and data to an independent storage device first. New HPT 2.32
bios may corrupt original RAID configuration created on old bios occasionally.
That means you may need to rebuild RAID configuration. If it happens, all the
data on RAID-0 will be gone!

A guy on a other forum toled my that I worked for I'm to go from 2.31 to 2.32 with raid 0.
Without losing any setup.

Did anyone else tryed this?

I updated to the 9N BIOS with 2.32 Highpoint BIOS/Drivers a while back without any problems. There is always a risk of data corruption/loss. Just follow the instructions and you should be ok. If you have sensitive data that you can't afford to lose then backup first.
