RAID 0 recovery after CPU/motherboard failure?

[elmer_fuddled]

Hi, this is my first time on TechIMO, been looking around and here seems a good place to ask for help- you people seem to know a bit without sounding condescending and superior, which I've noticed on other forums.

My problem is, I think either my processor or my motherboard failed today. Running Win2k I got a blue screen, with an "Unexpected_Kernel_Mode_Trap" error, my system rebooted before I had chance to note down the memory address error. After a bit of fault finding, I think that either the CPU or motherboard is faulty.
I currently run 2 SATA drives as RAID 0, comprising my boot drive. If I transfer the drives and controller to another machine, will I be able to salvage my data? The drives haven't failed, and I hope (but not entirely sure) the MBR will be housed on the array.
Any ideas? Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

It's a crap shoot. If you replace with the same mobo, just make sure you (re)create the array keeping the "0" drive and "1" drive in the same order as your initial RAID array. If you are going to a different mobo, that reduces your odds of success, especially if the RAID controller is not the same, plus now you'll have hardware (mobo, chipset, etc.) differences too.

You should be able to retreive the data. It may take a bit of effort, but you should be able to do it.

If you can put them on another controller that recognises the array, you should be able to just copy the data.
