[RESOLVED] Restoring Single SSD image to RAID 0 SSD array
Hello all,
I've got 2012 and the Plus Pack. Made a backup of my C drive (the singe SSD with Win7 64).
Added the new SSD to my rig, created a 2 SSD RAID 0 array with the onboard RAID BIOS.
Restored my Backup to the new array (Using the standard Rescue Disk created from Acronis). All seems to go fine in the recover.
When rebooting to the new SSD array, Windows Recovery wants to run. It can't find the operating system and gives me a chance to add drivers. I select the drivers, but it still cant find the OS. I tried every storage driver my motherboard has with no luck.
OK....Lets use try restorring with the WinPE version. Create the disk per instructions, boot the PC from it, Acronis starts up. NO checkbox for Universal Restore. I guess the regular rescue media created from a PC with Home 2012 and the Plus Pack should give this option too, but neither do for me.
SO...there is never a place in either metodes that let me specify the RAID drivers. I'm guessing that is my problem. How to get the Universal Restore checkbox to appear?
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm down for the count on my main rig now.
Issue resolved here.

Figured out the problem - You said "Partitions", not "Disks".
I had 2 backups:
1) OS + Program Files (on SSD) on another Program Files on a standard HDD
2) FUll SSD backup only - which I created just for the purpose of migrating to the RAID array
I was trying to restore from #2, the full SSD backup (which to me would make the most sense, since I only need to restore that). BUT, when I tried to restore from the #1 backup which contains multiple partitions, the Universal Restore Option showed.
Don't know why theis option will not show on the #2 backup, but after hours of online chat suppport - All it took was one forum post!!!!
When will I ever learn, lol.
Thanks again!!!!!
