Retrieve data off of Raid 0 drives

[zm15]

I have two hard drives that are RAID 0, data being written to both. My motherboard went out and in the process of trying to find a new one, i want to know if i can still recover the data on the drives. They are not boot drives. I have a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP motherboard with a on-board Gigaraid IDE controller. Do i need to get the same exact motherboard to get the data off? A motherboard with the same controller? Or is there another way? Thank you so much!!

Specs:

P4 3.4 Ghz
3 GB Ram
Gigabyte GA-8KNXP motherboard
X800XT video card
Win XP Pro

Yes, if the drive is still spinning, you can connect it as a slave, or in a usb enclosure and drag and drop, or use recovery software... I would use a powered USB enclosure with a 5V power adapter... do not count on the power of the USB connection to turn it long enough or fast enough.
Or you can jumper it as a slave in many cases that have RAID space and get what you need.
If you KNOW the drive to be defective when you begin, startup with a plan, and do not quit until you have done your best job of rescue... because the drive may not turn the next time you try it.

Raybay is a busy person and missed that you have 2 drives in raid 0 -


Another poster asked this recentl;y and I said:
Just a thought: Let's say you install as Raid 0 on a mobo with Intel Raid and the chipset is 925X.

If you took those drives and connected them to another Intel Raid supporting mobo in the same position (Sata 0 and Sata 1 slots as example) and that mobo had the bios set the same to recognize the Raid 0, the only real difference I can see would be the chipset drivers.

Those you 'might' be able to change by booting into Safe Mode.

Again, I am just woolgathering here.


Of course, there are companies that specialize in data retrieval of it is VERY critical and that is the safe method. Or just find an identical mobo.
