confused on Raid on old motherboard and how to get to use on new one.
ok i have another question for people and wanted to open up a new thread for it.
If you read the post below this one by me you will come to understand that recently my motherboard has crapped out on me.
Now i have another dilema. My old mother board had http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7V8X&langs=09#
had RAID (optional) RAID 0 support by two to three Parallel ATA or Serial ATA connectors. RAID 1 support by two Parallel or Serial ATA connectors.
And i used this with a 120 gig hardrive. Now its been awhile but i had to do some weird Raid setup on the drive. so it will work.
Now that i am having to get a new mother board im not seeing any boards with this feature exactly. I cant afford to lose the data on the drive in question. So i was wondering will i be able to make this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-167&depa=0 work with the hardrive that was being used witht he old raid slot on the now dead motherboard.
A freind told me to Buy a IDE pci slot and use that but will that allow me to see all the data on the drive first off. I really can lose it. Please help
I think this is a good description of everything. but ask any questions you want.
