Will flashing my BIOS destroy my onboard RAID array?

I'm running an EPoX 8K7A+ on my main rig, which has an onboard Highpoint HPT370A RAID controller. I'm currently running two 60GB drives in RAID 0 (striping). I'd like to flash my BIOS for a few reasons, one of which is to update the RAID controller's BIOS. I'm currently running the July 2001 BIOS which includes version 1.11 (or something like that) of the RAID BIOS. EPoX has a newer BIOS from late May, 2002, which includes version 2.32 of the RAID BIOS. If I perform this flash, is there any chance that this will destroy my RAID array? If so, will I be able to recover it by just rebuilding the array?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there. All I can tell you is that on my Epox 8K3A+ it did not destroy my RAID setup. Make sure you download the newest drivers from HighPoint's website and update them.
