Moving a Raid-0 controller (can it be done ?)

Hello, I have a problem at the time being ... my main board (Asus P4B266-E) seems to have gone fubar and won't boot at all. Stupid as I am I've kept all my work and images on my c-drive (that's right ... it's a Raid-0 array ... silly me).

I was wondering ... if I went out and bought myself another Asus main board, would it find my old Raid-0 array ? If not, is there any other way to retrieve some of the files stuck on these drives ?

My current raid-controller is an integrated Fasttrack-133 if I'm not mistaken ...

thx for any and all help :)

    You can more then likely even move it to another promise raid controller. It would be safer to move it to an identical board or at least the IDENTICAL chipset and bios version but I have several times moved arrays intact to another completly differant promise controller. You can not move from say a promise to a hpt or SI but usualy within the same line oc cards you can.

    Thanks a lot :) I've already ordered a pci promise raid-controller, so hopefully it will be possible to get my data back.

    Found out that Asus P4P800-E also had an integrated promise fastrack 133 controller, but with only one raid ide-slot, so it was useless for mye use.

    It probbaly had two sata ports for it also though if its a raid controller and not a ide controller. Meaning you use one sata to ide converter and you were set to go and thats probably the most compatible solution also.
