IDE RAID- Major problem need to save my data
I had a motherboard with a built in IDE RAID Promise chipset. I used
two drives for RAID 0 (now I know this was a bad idea). To make a long story short, the system board is shot and I can't get another with the same RAID chipset. Even if I throw the computer out, I really need to save my data. My questions a 1) If I get another system with a PCI RAID card or IDE RAID chipset on the motherboard that is not Promise RAID chipset, will my existing drives work without reformating? (i.e. I can get my data off. I don't need to boot or anything else). 2) If I just get a new computer (or borrow someones) with normal IDE, can I plug in my 2 drives as the the 2nd and 3rd drive and use software RAID (like in Win2000) to get at my data? Thanks |
