Want to transfer olld HDD files to new HDD, but having problems

[PhantasyStar]

Hi, I just made a new computer with a new 160 GB SATA HD, and I want to take some of the old files from my previously RAIDed 2 x 120 GB SATA HDDs and put them on the new HDD. Now, when I plugged the old ones in, it showed under Properties that there was 0.00 GB used, and it asked me to format the drive. I don't understand why it doesn't show my files and allow me to transfer some of them over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You would have to have the drives hooked up to the same raid controller to get information from them.

Okay, so do I just use the RAID floppy that came with my MOBO? I'm sort of lost at this point. This is my first time building a computer

You need to have the two RAID drives plugged in to the actual RAID controller on the old motherboard (or the PCI RAID controller card if that is what you were using) in order to access the data on the drives.
