I have/had a RAID 0 setup, but my original Motherboard was damaged in a flood, and I was able to find another original MOBO: ASUS A8V Deluxe, but it does not recognize the Array, to allow it to boot.

1 Auto Setup does not respond
2 View Drive Assignments - shows:
Channel ID 1: SATA WDC WD740GD-00FLA0 74355MB Array 1 Mode U6
Channel ID 2: SATA WDC WD740GD-00FLC0 74355MB Array 1 Mode U6
Mode (D = DMA, U = UDMA) - non responsive
3 Define Array - Array 1 Stripe 2 drives 148710 Functional
Enter to Select is non responsive
4 Delete Array - did not try, but I would suspect that it would also not respond
5 Rebuild Array - shows same as 3 Define Array, but is not responding to entries
VIA Tech. VT 8237 SATA RAID BIOS Ver 2.01 does NOT see any of the 2 SATA drives
Shows Channel:
Serial_Ch0 Master No Drive
Serial_Ch1 Master No Drive
Does not respond to any options (Create, Delete, etc.)
Allowing to boot, gets to "..Windows did not start successfully..." screen
Tried all options, which shows WindowsXP Splash screens loading then a very quick Blue screen, that I can't pause/capture.
After Multiple attempts, and tweaking BIOS, etc. I noticed that PNP was not enabled in the BIOS.
Enabled it, and booted to Last known good Boot, which actually got me to my Login screen.
I entered my password, which was accepted, and I logged in, seeing my Desktop, but for only about 5 - 8 seconds before there was another very quick Blue Screen and reboot.
Since then I have not even got that close.
Disabling, rebooting, then Enabling the PNP did not work.
I have tried booting to Ultimate Boot CD, but it does not recognize the Array, so I can't access file, or use any utilities.
I would be more than happy to just be able to copy the files off the Array, then blow it away.
Much appreciation in advance for your help.
I have back ups, but they are never as current as you'd like.
