Complete System Failure


Recommended Posts

Recently we had a major storm come through and after several hours of troubleshooting have found that my motherboard, RAM and CPU have all been friend from a power surge. The system will not boot no matter which components are switched out (Also verified CPU and RAM are dead on a different test system.). Luckily it looks like all of my drives and USB boot drive are still in working order, so far.

 

If I were to put all drives and the USB boot drive into a new system, with similar but newer hardware, what complications should I expect? Will I need to start a new hardware config or will the OS automatically pick up the drives and know which is which? Or do I need to accept data loss and pull from an online backup with a new config?
