Hello, everyone!
My Abit KG7-RAID motherboard one day refused to start my computer. All
I see is flashing lights of my two CD-ROMs when I power the PC up. I
hear no beeps to indicate problems with my graphics card or any other
component.
I have set up RAID-0 with two IDE hard drives. Since the RAID
functionality is integrated in the motherboard I don't know how I can
restore my data from the two hard drives if I figure out that the
motherboard is a dead beat.
Do you know how I can restore this data? I run Linux on my machine and
the RAID-0 array is formatted for ReiserFS. I have not done backup for
almost one year now. I know it was a mistake but any ideas as to how I
can possibly restore any of the data on these two drives would be
greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for any advice!
Roumen.
