Hi guys. Im looking for some help and advice from some of you that experienced this or know better.

Last night I was swapping Cpus on my 965P DS3 to see if new one oc better and i've bent a pin, then i got water leak and fried my board I've tried everything and its no good. So I've bought P35 DS3R. Here's problem.

I've had my Vista 32 OS on RAID 0 with 2 seagate 750. with 2 partitions, one OS+Programs other partition for storage. With 2 750 gig i really do have about 1 gig of files that are crucial for me to get back. I have home videos and photos from my entire life. (i have backup of photos from before last years but everything 07 no backup)

So its extremely important for me to get it all back. With swapping motherboards. Am i going to be able to boot up? Again i have Vista 32bit, Will repairing it from the Vista DVD install new drivers/keep windows?

Last but not least. if i go and buy new HD, install OS on there, will i still have access to the RAID 0 Drives? so i could back up most important info?

Any help is greatly appriciated. Im suppose to have my motherboard here later today or tomorrow and would like to know exactly what i have to do to get my files backed up.

Thank you
