This is the deal; the DRIVES themselves are perfectly fine. The main problem is that my old computer was based on the Abit IC7-G platform, and it was running the raid array off of the southbridge I THINK. Cant remember exactly. My new computer is below, and is not based on the Intel chipset. Is it going to be possible to recover my files from this array? If so, I am in need of some good software to do it, assuming it can be done.

Ghost and a prayer. Ghost Corporate would let you send the image to another machine as a file before ever booting into the OS and corrupting the array.

Other than that, you should try not to break the cardinal rule of computing:

Backup your data BEFORE you swap parts / upgrade.

Worse comes to worst, can youjust write your array to another big HD? It looks like you have one there... Then set everything up, and you're back.

Put the array back on your old mobo.
Backup all the data.
Move the drives.
Reinstall your data.

Thats the only way of doing it I know.
Thats one reason why I dont raid0 anymore.

Luck......:D

Well there IS a slight problem; the old mobo was killed during shipping which is the reason I am in this situation. I will look into using ghost [dunno if any of this will be possible till next week when I get access to the other computer] in the meantime. I wish it were as simple as plugging the hard drives into the new mobo and having it detect the array :(
