Putting SATA stripe onto new motherboard

    OK, before I start I know a bit about this kind of stuff, but not a hugh amount. I've had a problem with my PC where it kept crashing for no apparent reason, no error nothing just freeze, even sometimes before it got to start windows... I've tried everything (RAM, power supply etc..) and the only conclusion I can come to is that its the motherboard... so I plan to buy another.
    The problem I have is that I have two 250GB SATA drives linked so that they share data, I need to keep whats on the drives and I can't copy to anything because my computer keeps crashing.
    What I want to know is that when I move the Stripe to a new motherboard will it still be intact or will I have to reformat?
    Any help appreciated, Thanks

    EDIT: Maybe I didn't use the right terminology when I call it a stripe, I have the two connected so that they are read as just one 500GB drive. Also they are partitioned into one 100GB and one 400GB.

    I've done it, so it is possible. It'll be easier if the RAID controller it's going on to is the same manufacturer as the past one. If not you may need to remove the volume identifier that the controller puts on.
