Hi all,
I'm currently running Vista64 on a raid0 array: 2X320GB on my Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Motherboard. I intend to change this motherboard for a MSI P7N SLI Platinum. I don't want to have to reinstall or lose data off the raid array. Can i just remove the Gigabyte board and replace it with the MSI, detect the raid array, and install Vista64 over the top of my existing installation so my Vista64 installation, files & data remain intact? I know that a general rule of thumb would be to wipe and reinstall with a new motherboard install but i can't afford to do that at the moment.
