Your screwed unless you can find a board that has the same IDE
controller on it
Actually, I found a great Ubuntu forum on the topic, and the command
"dmraid -ay" autodetected the RAID without problems. Quite
impressive! I was able to copy files off of the RAID and then I'm
going to set it back up in Windows so both Windows and Linux can see it.
Huh? How does that work? Did you set it up as Windoze software RAID on
the old board (independant of the controller on that board), and Ubuntu
features access to such a RAID?
Windows requires software to see the RAID, however I'm not sure if it
was a software RAID. Sorry for lack of detail, but its a point on which
I'm still unclear myself.
I do know there's a very simple RAID setup screen you can access after
BIOS during boot, so the motherboard has some innate RAID capabilities.
Obviously I'm not an expert in the ways of RAID arrays. :) All I
know is the result was pretty miraculous.
