HELP 975xbx2 Marvel raid 10 replacing C!

[dtvmiami]

My system has been working with the Marvell Raid 10 configuration, I have a TB mirror.. 5 drives, 500's all 16/3's.
My C drive took a dump and I am replacing it. On boot I see the raid in the bios load..after reinstalling installing xp pro, the mobo and controllers- the TB drive is still not seen and I have to reconnect the raid somehow without destroying the data -- can someone advise me please?

Wish I had an easy answer for you but I just had a similar situation with RAID using the Intel controller and I was unable to get the 2 Matrix RAID drives (0,1) I had to run again. Wound up reformatting them and forgoing the RAID and just installing Windows XP on one drive and cloning it to the secondary drive. From now on I'll just back up the files on the cloned drive and if my boot drive fails I can reinstall everything from the cloned secondary drive.

Same experience here, went to rebuild my array from the mirror drives, ended up spending a day reloading/updating when it failed. Went to Norton Ghost and copied the partition to another drive, tested the clone and it works fine. So I disconnected the clone and it's waiting it's turn. After I went back to single drive configuration I re-ran benches to see what I was losing. On PcMark I only lost 5 points which can be attributed to a lot of things, if the raid were really making any difference in raid 0/1 it would have shown in one of the 3 benches I re-ran.

Good news is that I have plenty of drives to play with now
