AMD Athlon X2 - Migration to nVidia RAID - Code 32

Thread needs solution

If this has been answered please post a link, I did search but without success.

I first attempted to migrate from single physical volume (AHCI) to nVidia onboard RAID 0. The result was a BSOD immediately after the Windows logo. I did a second restore with Universal Restore enabled/checked and really it was largely successful, only a few drivers had to be loaded.

The main challenge is this: Device Manager > Processors > AMD Athlon(tm) X2 240 Processor >

"A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)"

I have attempted to load drivers from the previous volume, which were extracted directly from the restoration source. I searched online in vein as well and am no stumped.

I would great appreciate help with a solution. Thanks much.

Have you changed from an Intel processor to an AMD?

I did not see your comments until today, I thought I would be notified, my apologies.

No, same computer, I am changing from SATA AHCI to SATA Raid using the onboard nVidia controller. Just for kicks, I left the single HDD in, changed to RAID mode in the BIOS, same BSOD. Further checking reveals it is a driver issue.

I wonder if a good next step is to go ahead and do the recover to the RAID volume, then repair windows?

I am also curious, still, why I had the issue with the CPU drivers (the yellow exclamation point in the device manager).

Thanks you for your follow up.

Windows 7 requires drivers for AHCI mode and if it had been set up as non AHCI you get the BSOD, but I haven't heard it complain about CPU drivers before.

If you have the Plus Pack you can install the new drivers into the recovery sequence. I assume that the system at the moment has a fresh install of Windows and you want to recover your old image? You can recover, but of course you will have to repair Windows as you ahve already mentioned.

Regarding CPU, yes, that was strange. Just to be clear, I did this recovery twice, once with a simple recovery of the Acronis image, results were BSOD on boot.

Second time I did a recovery with the option to migrate to new hardware, which sort of worked. The system did boot, I had to reinstall drivers for the audio, NIC, and such. But for the CPU, I could not get the drivers updated/installed. The performance impact was noticeable.

I am not working with a fresh install, I want to migrate from a single HDD to a RAID 0 because I work with large files, and I want improved boot times.

I see value in this effort as I will likely upgrade my mainboard in the future and I don't want to reinstall Win7, my apps, import configurations, set up printers, VPNs, and all that.
