My old LGA775 motherboard blew.
I have a new LGA2011 motherboard with an LSI Megaraid set.
I had RAID 0+1 (or 1+0, can't remember) on the old motherboard with 4 250G drives. It's totally shot.
If I *carefully* move the drives over to the new motherboard, maintaining the drive order, will the Megaraid controller recognize the drive set?
I have 2 2TB backup drives I could clone them to as a VHD, if that would help but then I'd need to do software RAID (which is fine just for a backup).
I'm a little hesitant to just plug the drives in. If you mess up the disks (wrong order), do you think the LSI MegaRaid would be able to tell in the setup?
Will putting the drives in wrong result in the RAID configuration getting wiped out in any way?
I have a backup, but it's not totally current, and the "backup catalog" from a previously successful Windows backup is now saying it's corrupt, so if I can't get the drives back, I lose a lot of stuff. (the backup was good, but then making a 3rd backup started saying "backup catalog is corrupt". I thought it meant for the most recent backup, but apparently the first backup was bad - and it's got my older files).
Can Ghost or Clonezilla backup the physical partition in a regular SATA mode so I at least have 4 backup disks?
