Hi guys,

About a month ago, my old motherboard died. It was an MSI nForce 570 SLI motherboard, and I was using 2 hard drives in a RAID 0 array on it. Yes, I know, RAID 0 is a waste of time. I found that out first hand!

Anyway... so now the problem I have is that since the motherboard died, I have no way of getting the data off the drives. I've since replaced the PC (kept the drives of course) but because my new mobo is an AMD chipset (770 and sb710), and not an nvidia chipset, it isnt able to read the RAID 0 array.

So... does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the data off? I'm going to be selling the rest of the parts of the old PC, such as CPU, RAM, graphics card etc, to a friend, so I suppose I could buy a new nforce motherboard and use that to extract the data (and then sell that on to him too, once I've extracted the data). Or, I could take it into a repair shop and see if they have any nforce motherboard lying around. Does anyone know of a shop that could help? I emailed Matrix but they didnt respond.
 
Where you at? I have a whole bunch of motherboards that may be used once off to retrieve your data?
 
Also Joburg. Bryanston/Sandton to be exact.

Please let me know - is the shop linked in your sig your shop? Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.... but that software is $99! Not worth it! Cheaper to get it restored elsewhere.
