move RAID array to new bundle

TrojanWhore · 30 Dec 2010 at 01:12

ok, so I'm planning a move to sandy bridge next month from my p35/q6600 setup.

My primary system drive is a RAID0 comprised of 2x 1tb samsung f3's.

When I get my bundle, will I be able 'plug n play' my hardrives or will I need to establish the RAID again and reinstall everything?

I am using win7 x64 pro, on a licence from the MSDNAA (student licence), so if I cant migrate my array as is, then I may have to wait until I can afford a new copy of win7.

Thanks in advance

The array will go over fine just set it up in the manager. However Win7 will detect the change of hardware and ask you to reactivate which will fail.

cheers for the responses guys.
as for windows, I kinda expected that to be the case. is a hard drive still considered an upgrade? as I was planning a SSD at some point down the line, and wondering if an OEM copy of windows will allow this upgrade without throwing a wobbly
