gigabyte ga-965p-ds3 upgrade to MSI Z77A-GD65

Question is this:

The gigabyte board is setup with a pair of raptors running RAID 0. Is it possible to keep the RAID array intact without having to reinstall windows? IE just unplug the drives, remove the old gigabyte board, put in the new MSI board, setup the raid array in the RAID bios and have the system boot? Oh it's running Win 7.

TIA for any responses

you would not be able to keep the same raid, no. even if you could get the board to get the same settings, your OS would have drivers from the old board and may not run stable which would require a re-install anyway.

backup your important stuff, re-install windows onto new raid 0.

This plus your old board will have it partitioned MBR, new board will require GPT.

The guy I was helping with this got his ass put on ignore, (that's what yah get when you don't listen to ol snipey)

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to try and help out a friend with a computer, especially when the only time that "friend" contacts you is when they need computer help.... Not much reason to base a friendship on is it....
