RAID 0 on failed GA-81K1100 MB; data recovery?
 
I have a GIGABYTE GA-8IK1100 MB with 2 SATA disks set to raid 0 which up
until yesterday ran flawlessly. Suddenly, the machine won't boot up at all,
no video -nothing. I've tried a new powersupply and video card and neither
have worked. I am now assuming that it is the MB. My question is can I
plug the SATA HD's into another computer with SATA raid support and retrive
the data off the disks? Thanks in advance for your response, Ben

If you use an Identical motherboard it is possible, but it should also
be running the same BIOS file as well. Some BIOS updates change the
firmware for the RAID controller as well.

You won't be able to do it if you try using a motherboard with a
different RAID controller. A RAID array setup on a Promise controller
won't work on a Highpoint or Intel controller.

Thats why if your running a RAID-0 array its nessesary to keep up to
date backups of all critical data you have on the computer.
