Thanks, deerpark. My question gets a bit complicated now.
The drives which were on the older, failed, motherboard were set to 'mirrored' RAID. However, the array had broken down and I was about to re-mirror it when the mobo went down. The PC was working fine on the one drive, it just wasn't running as mirrored RAID.
Now, the info on those drives is valuable to me. What should I do to ensure that I don't have to reformat when I put the drives onto the new mobo ? The OS on the drives is Windows 2000 Pro.
