Moving RAID array to new mobo

Hi all,

Long story short, I have a 5x500GB RAID 5 installed in a system with an MSI P965 Platinum motherboard (ICH8R Southbridge). Very soon I will be installing an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard (ICH9R Southbridge) in said machine. Will I be able to move my existing RAID array into the new motherboard without losing data? I'd like to avoid having to back up all of that data first. I don't plan on reinstalling XP so I'm hoping for a quick (har har, are these things ever quick?) motherboard swap and I'm back in business.

Anyone try this before and know if I'm going to run into problems?
 
yes you can move the raid to new mobo without loosing data, as for just swaping the mobo without reinstalling windows that might or might not work too well :p
 
Thanks. Reinstalling Windows and all of my editing apps will still be less time consuming than backing up 2TB of data :)
 
I don't know that I would take that risk myself. I would back up, it's faster than getting 2TB of data replaced. It should work, but I am the cautious type. In any case, I hope it works out for you.
