Ok, so I've done something extremely stupid. I blew up some stuff on my motherboard and now I've got a new one.
I migrated from a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R to a EX58-UD5 and I was using Gigabyte's onboard raid controller for a RAID-0 setup (not the ICH10R from Intel) with 2 500Gb harddisks.
Now I've built everything around the UD5, but I am kind of a n00b with RAID controllers. I plugged in the disks in the same order on Gigabyte's own controller again but no RAID as far as I can tell.
I'm holding back to reinitialise the array since it effectively holds everything that was on the computer, including over 200Gbs of music and I don't know if initialising means data loss.
UD3R's controller is a JMicron JMB363 and so is the UD5's.
If someone can point me to utilities, boot cd's or whatever I can use to double and triple check whether my data will still be there when I reinitialise the array I'd be very, very thankful
