I'm upgrading my system from a raid 1 on an NVidia 590 chipset to raid 1 on the new AMD chipset (785 chipet?)

I remember having a nightmare a long time ago getting my then raid 1 to the nvidia system.

Has anyone done this or could see any issues getting it across without losing all my data?

OS is win7 64.

Thanks.
 
backup old raid, build new raid, restore backup to new array

thats what I would do anyway
 
Usually it doesn't work for Raid5 between such different chipsets... different controllers.
Not sure about 1 or 0 raids... I think it is the same...
 
From what i experienced moving to the nvidia raid, it was unable to read the raid set, but the data was unreadable without it, not sure how i worked around it.

I'd just like the best practise/procedure for moving over to the new raid :)

Click to expand...

copy data from existing array.
build new system.
build new array.
copy back to new array.
 
Yeah, i'm thinking something similar, though i'd like to use the existing windows install, however, i don't really have anything big enough to copy the existing array onto :(
 
Cloud and jsta are tellin the truth. You have no other choice but to build a new array. The dangers of using raid in a home environment.
 
Sorry, i completely missed Clouds reply :eek:

Well, beset way to copy the OS environment? I was thinking something like Acronis?
