Question regarding Raid on 2 different motherboards

[SilverThief]

I currently have 2 WD 80GB HD's running in Raid 0 on my P4T533-R. I'm replacing this board with a Gigabyte 8IHXP2, and want to know if I need to reformat my drives and setup the array new? Or can I just hook them up as they are into the new board, and it will recognize the partitions already installed.

Only if its the same controller, or the new controller you are migrating to is made by the same mfg and supports legacy controllers.

Great! It is the exact same Raid controller. Whew, less work for me!
Thanks for the help.
