would a USB -> SATA external doc work?

No thats not likely going to work....It might if its a RAID 1...

and im not quite sure how to use it... do i just plug in 1 hdd at a time.. then run the program?

I have not used this program (yet) but I would guess you connect all the HDD's thats part of the RAID and install the program to access it.

tried the program but it seems to only recover files from non-raid drives..

got a trial version of the program they have that actually recovers the files but only full version allows u to save the files and its 250USD..

any cheaper way to get the files back?

but there has to be a way to retrieve the files from RAID.. or else everytime someones motherboard dies.. they'd be in trouble...

the program peterUK suggested should work if it wasn't $250USD.. some sort of software RAID?

the old motherboard i used was asus p4c800-e.. can someone please suggest some newer boards that would let me get the files back??

thanks

the raid is still in tact and fully functional.. but im not sure where i can find a comp that can load the raid..

old motherboard = asus p4c800-e deluxe, intel 875p chipset

any mobo still on sale that can load it?

Do you know if it was the Intel ICH5R or Promise 20378 RAID controller you used on that board? Or what SATA ports you used to setup the RAID.

Hey OP, what are the symptoms of your broken desktop? Does it not power up? Does it power up, but nothing show on the screen? Maybe we can help you fix your broken PC....

It might be easier to fix your computer than do a RAID recovery.

my desktop will boot til after the Scanning for IDE drive+RAID configurations screen.. then black screen.. and either it restarts or stops..

after restarting from that.. it wont even show anything and just shut down after 3-5 seconds..

its not my hdd or ram cuz i tried to pull them from a working comp and same thing happened..

tried with only my PSU, cpu, mobo, ram+hdd from diff comp and still wouldnt load pass scanning for drives..

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
