I applogize, I posted this in the MB forum as well, but am in urgent need of help.
Other post

I've got an Abit KT7-RAID board with all of my data on a raid0 array. The board just died. If I put the drives in another (not a KT7) board can I retrieve my data? Are there any special steps in doing so? Has anyone done this before?

I've got a SOYO Dragon+ that I could use, but don't want to loose my data.

Please help.

Thanks.
 
As far as I know you can't just swap motherboards. The creation of a RAID array in the BIOS will destroy any information you have on the array. There may be a way to do it, but I'm not familiar with it...good luck!

If you use the same model & same bios version then you should be able to retrieve your data.

Dont you just love Raid 0 , good name for it

, you have zero chance of getting you data if something messes up. 😉
 
reicherb, Did you read that website I linked to? It looks as if the very act of creating the RAID array will destroy any data contained on it. The question isn't whether or not the board is similar enough, but how to create the array without destroying the existing one. This is akin to doing an FDISK on a HDD to re-establish the partitions of an existing drive with data on it. Creating the partitions destroys the drive's ability to access the existing information. I suppose if you were to recreate the RAID array with two drives identical to the ones you have and then swap them out, it might work to recover the data...just make sure the stripe size etc is the same as the original array.

Good luck man! 😱
 
any highpoint controller should do the job

never use raid 0/1 for any information it breaks far too easy

best thing is to use software raid 1 frrom windows 2000 / xp which is difficult enough
 
ST4CUTTER is right on with his advice. You have a slim-to-none chance of pulling this off. And as I found out the hard way, Budman is also correct. 😉

You've learned a valuable lesson, my friend; you have a CDRW...USE IT! I lost all my data once. Now, I burn anything I can't live w/o to CD, this way if (when?) it crashes, I've lost nothing but a few hours of reinstall time.

Using RAID0 is like dating a leggy model; smooth and fast until something goes wrong, then you lose your shirt. BTW, I am dating a leggy model. 😉
