Hi., some years ago I had built a home server, OS Server 2003, having a main HDD for the operating system and using a RAID card (RAID host controller card)
and 4x 2TB WesternDigital. The main HDD has some sort of failure - shutting down by itself, blue screens; it started for a while and managed to back-up most of the data. However, it later fails to start.
If I replace the HDD with another HDD or altogether move the system (RAID configuration) into a new upgraded server, will the data be lost or retained in either case? What would be your experience?
