Replacing Motherboard of the same model, new MB cannot identify RAID 0 set

My motherboard USB controller crapped out ( due to static shock i think).  I bought the same model MB (MSI 975X Platinum V.2 775 R) and swapped it out with the busted old one.  I configure the BIOS for RAID and get to a message that says "DISK READ ERROR".  Not even far enough to enter the RAID configuration?

The RAID 0 is 2 WD's  they work fine, my old motherboard still works just no USB functionality.

$!#&$ I must have hit the MBR reset button when taking out the old MB.  Now I have 2 MB's in the same boat.  Is there anything I can do?  Is there any way I can flash the MB to load the JMicron RAID config or something?
Well you should be able to set the raid config back up manually through bios.  But some boards destroy the array/clear the drives when they create an array.  This is why I said to create an image of your machine so if this happens you can boot to cd and restore.  Did you create an image of some sort?
