RAID Mobo Swap

[MadduckUK]

Well im saying goodbye to my Via chipped s939 mobo and hello to an AMD chipped AM2. what i need to know is will i have to start from scratch when i swap the board over with my RAID0 array or will it work on the new board as is.

thanking you!

ooof, tough question

As a rule, you can often get away with changing chipsets to another one from the same manufacturer, but changing manufacturer normally means you will need to rebuild the array.

ta, thats pretty much what i was thinking. unless someone can say they have managed it i shall consider myself going the long way round

the raid array is controller via software - your changing the chip that software interacts with.

I'd expect you to suffer without an install

right, well i cant risk it because i dont have enough HDD space to make 2 copies in case it works. thanks anyway, was worth a try
