Can Server 2008 Enterprise x86 read a software RAID5 set from Server 2008 Enterprise x64?

-

i have windows server 2008 enterprise x64 box has 5x 1tb drives in raid5 configuration data storage, , additional drive os. after considerable number of blue screens date appear 64bit drivers system aren't behaving. server has 4gb of ram, never have more this, , used data storage, figured i'd put on x86 os instead - drivers more readily available.

so, if perform fresh install of x86 os, able read x64 counterpart's software raid5 volume?
gut feeling there should no problem , work, i'm not willing risk 3.5tb of data .001% uncertainty :)

do not risk make backup :)

but should work fine

with kind regards
