New Motherboard Raid Transfer

[gpse]

Hey guys, I upgraded my mobo, now I can't boot, I get the error showing 1 of my hard drives is not raid
My old mobo was ICH9R, new mobo is ICH10R
I had two 500gb hard drives running raid 0 using the intel storage manager. currently it shows one disk as member, the other isn't.

I would say, always backup before you upgrade, but I'm not sure how helpful that would be now. I've moved from different ICH chipsets keeping my RAID in tact, but I've never tried it with a boot device. Here is my concern. It sounds like the BIOS doesn't see one of the drives as a RAID member, which would tell me that it doesn't recognize the RAID signature on the drive. There is a possiblity that you could have corrupted one of the drives during the move...it's happend to me.

I would try rebuilding the system with the old motherboard to see if it's recognized still. If it is and it boots, then your ICH10R has an issue with it. I'm not sure what Intel says about compatibility across chipsets...so I can't say if it's possible to transfer from 9R to 10R. As I said, I've done it, but I don't remember from what to what.

I would see if you can get the old system up with those drives again, then back it up. Then get the new motherboard in and make sure you have a recent BIOS. If all else fails, rebuild the raid and restore.

I have tried the same combination and it works. RAID 0 made and used with 9R is recognized by the 10R. It sounds to me like a corrupted RAID. You can try and plug the unrecognized drive in another SATA port. MAKE SURE the sata port is on the 10R bus and not on some other controller.

thanks guys, I'll try it on the old mobo first, if not I have my important stuff backed up to another drive so I'll just start fresh.

it was corrupt, I had to start fresh, good thing I backed up important stuff.
