bmanice Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 ok so heres the problem... running raid 0 with 2 sata drive's... worked fine for about three years... now its freezing at the blue welcome screen... i dont have much expeirience with raid or sata, so i figured id see what you guys think. If I had to back up the drives, how would i do so? I have another pc I use for tech projects, and it has a sata mobo, but doesnt recognize the format of the raid... ran chkdsk, didnt do anything, avoiding a repair, mainly need to know hos i can back up... my usb connection only has one sata connection, and my other pc doesnt recognize... so am i SOL? any ideas will be greatly appreciated, Thanks ! -Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Windows is (always) probably broken, the RAID probably has nothing to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmanice Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 ok, thanks, ill just go ahead and repair it and see what i get... and just to reassure myself, with raid data striping, it basically takes the 2 HDD's and makes it into 1, and data cannot be pulled from 1 disk with out the other because it would be incomplete... correct? thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmanice Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 ok i have a hypothetical scenario... if i take the 2 sata hard drives (setup for RAID 0 striping) out of one pc... how could i properly hook them up to another machine to pull data from them? i tried using the sata on my tech pc that is using a simple run-of-the-mill IDE master HD, but when i try to access the RAID disks, it doesnt seem to recognize the format... is there some sort of software or device i can use to help me in this situation? thanks again, the help is much appreciated.....

Sparda Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Have you tried booting Ubuntu? Can you mount the partition in Ubuntu? Much easier to boot another OS on the same computer rather then trying to move a RAID to another computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
