Raided HDs on New Motherboard and Win7

pgde · Jul 23, 2014

Hi All:

Need some advice. This morning my trusty old Q9650 chip bit the dust after 7 wonderful years of service on my DFI LanParty UT -- ICH5 chipset. I also have my Raided Velocorapter HDs in good condition. Am on Win7 Pro. So can I just attach my old drives to the new motherboard and have Windows read the drives and update the configuration? All my serial numbers, etc are on those drives. I do have a windows home server 2 day old backup if that won't work -- Could I restore to the drives after wiping them on the new motherboard? BTW this is Raid0!

One more question in this vein -- suppose I purchase new SSDs -- can I use my WHS backup to restore to that and have Windows reconfigure?

Any comments/suggestions would be welcome! And I did Google this but really couldn't find any advice for my particular situation

Unfortunately not. You will need the same chipset for you raid0 to be recognised and you will have to re-setup the raid0 by adding the drives. Are you sure your cpu died? Not sure about WHS. If you could borrow a cpu, get the thing up and running and clone the Raid0 to your SSD. Hope this helps. I have the same cpu and raid0 and my mainboard died. I had to buy a used but same Gigabyte board to get it back up.

I'm not sure if a new intel board would be able to read an array from ich5. Anyways you should still be able to get access to the data, theres free software out htere to get the raid info to recover the files, you just need a drive to recover them to.
