 Almost Crashed! Hey guys. I have some issues with my rig and I decided to replace my motherboard with another one and test it. The replacement mobo is exactly the same model. However I have built a raid strip array and have some data on the 2 hdd's. I will change the mobo but I have to know how can I make not to loose the array nor any of my data ! Thanks a lot for your input. Chris

| Should work fine if the mobo and controller is exactly the same. How do you make sure you don't lose data? Make regular backups!

| I just saved on a couple of dvd's what was important ! I was thinking about how the raid isn't built in the new raid bios !

| Usually raid controllers tag disks by writing to the first sector (or last sector) what disk they are and what the array configuration is. I definately know of hardware RAID adapters that do that - swap the disks around and they will happily reconfigure themselves so that the RAID array continues working. However, it's always a good idea to have a backup!

| Today the system crashed. Yesterday I just back up my data. Didn't had time to switch the mobo's. I started my rig this morning to watch the news. Then I shut it down and left for work. After few hours my wife started the rig and it was stuck at the raid bios. I had to go home clr cmos and set up the bios again. This time after initializing the bios/raidbios/dmi the rig would restart itself. What the hell could be wrong? Could this be a PSU failure? The raid is healthy ! Thanks for your help !

| Can you try a different PSU? Otherwise the board might iffy  maybe a new BIOS flash will cure it? Who knows!

| Tonight I'll take one PSU with me and I'll try to boot. /If no go then replace mobo. If no go then open window. If window opened wide then throw PC out End/
