Hello!

 

I would like to give that Raid array from a Nforce 3600 Pro based board one more chance after the board died just recently.

 

But the Array makes some troubles being found correctly on other Nforce based boards.

 

I tried it with an old Asus board with Nforce 4, the array was detected healthy and everything is fine. The windows 7 on it boots somewhat...as much as a Windows 7 would boot on another completely different platform.

 

But when i install Windows XP on that machine on another HDD, even with newest drivers, Windows does not find the array and displays the HDD's as single unrecogizable ones instead.

 

Same goes if i want to install Win7 on that board on the array.

 

Orfcourse i tried to use drivers on install (which i didn't even need previously) But it only shows me one HDD and doesn't let me install on it.

 

The stripe consists of 3 Seagate 250GB Harddisks.

 

How good are chances that i have more luck with a board with the same chipset?

I'm confused. Are you using the unRAID operating system? This isn't a forum for general RAID discussion and support. It's for the unRAID operating system specifically.

How good are chances that i have more luck with a board with the same chipset?

 

Many of us here migrated to unRAID after being badly bitten by a traditional RAID system which become unrecoverable.

If you can get network working with your Windows booting from the striped set it might be worth cutting your losses and backing up as much as you want to save across to another PC. Assuming you have ~750GB of free space somewhere else. This way you can destroy the array and rebuild/replace what you need to without the concern for data loss.

Yeah, this is not a general raid forum, i know. But it's the only good Raid forum AT ALL.

 

Also, i wasn't able to boot on the other system whatsoever. I exactly tried that.

 

I only need to back up like 50-100GB. But like i said, the other Nvidia board, a completely different system detects the Array, but i can'T access it. Looks like i have to get a similar Board then.
