Hello, All!

I plan to install RAID0 next week on an Asus A7V8X m/b system. Some time
later this year I hope to change out to a A8V socket 939 board. Question:
will I be able to simply disconnect/reconnect the RAID0 drives to the new
board similar to being able to disconnect/reconnect IDE drives and be up and
running w/o other drive related adjustments? Since the original install will
require F6 and drivers to be installed from the A7V8X CD I'm guessing this
operation will get messier than IDE switches.

Thanks.

Colonel Blip.

Doubt it completely - unless u use a PCI card RAID and take it with you then
do a repair XP Install as first boot.

I would ditch the raid 0 first and revert to a single ordinary drive if you
can then when you get the new mobo consider the options. Oh, and have a
backup

You will have to do a repair XP install moving to such a different mobo -
either that or a fresh install.

WHENEVER you change the motherboard in an XP OS computer, then you MUST
refomat the harddrive, yes even if it's RAID 0, and do a fresh install of
the OS. Otherwise you face ongoing nasty Registry errors and data
corruption.

Dave always says this and obviously has yet to try an XP Repair install.
You do not have to reformat etc. If your system is clean and tidy (IE no
viruses etc) then a repair is just fine.

Do not attempt to boot your HD without doing the repair first and do not
give any credence at all to any wives tales about deleting registry entries.
The Repair fixes it up for you.

When you are ready to do it, do some research and find accurate
documentation on how to do a repair. Repair is the method MS supports for
this.

Hello, Tim!

Familiar with repair for other reasons. Actually, not as concerned about the
RAID0 arrar as I am about my dual boot (other) drive, which currently has
several partitions and lots of 'stuff' on it. I plan to keep the raid
limited to OS/Programs and expendable stuff and so even if I had to start
over on it (assuming I don't wait too long for the new m/b purchase) it
would not be a major problem.

Thanks.

I know MS recommends this, and I've read other posts from some where it
actually worked. My experience is that it worked one time of the four times
I did a proper repair install. These were all m/b and processor upgrades.
The one time it worked was when I from a Nforce to Nforce2 board. The
failures were all going from KT boards to Nforce2 and VIA to Nforce2.

Do a fresh install. It will run better and take less time in the long run.

Who . . . in the world, would not want to reinstall when they got
new hardware?

I reinstall when I change my password. XP accumulates sh*t, maybe
it's better than previous versions of windows, but the nature of
any normal OS is to get dirty as time goes on.

People are just afraid to reinstall. Too lazy to format their
files in such a way that they can be backed up and restored.

REINSTALL! SAVE YOURSELVES!

When the llama speaks you listen. Unfortunately the llama hasn't
spoken yet.

Luc, I do get your point.

However there are many of us that never get viruses, spyware, or a mess. We
run off the same OS for years without trouble, have totally stable systems,
good backup regimes, and keep systems working 100% without issue.

It is quite easy if you know how.

Consequently if its upgrade time, we have the backups and ask ourselves:
repair or reinstall? If time is short then it is invariably repair.

Reinstall is always good, but sometimes it costs more than its possibly
worth as there is little advantage to it.

Now, if ones system is in a perpetual state of virus infection then an fdisk
is prudent.

It certainly sped up my boot time on the new motherboard.
