Acronis Bootable Media - don´t boot my RAID-Controller (Dawicontrol 622e)
Hi Guys,
i want to chance the Systemdisk in my Computer from: S-ATA to RAID
I use an external Raid-Controller from: Dawicontrol - Modell 622e
The used motherboard is an ASRock H170A-X1 with Intel Chipset
Now the Job is to add the correct RAID-Drivers to the Bootable Acronis Media (the Universal Restore Media is ready, yet - works perfect and loads my RAID-Disk - but it has no trueimage on it)
First of all: The Switch from an old System (S-ATA) to my complete new System (with other Hardware but S-ATA, too) is done and works very fine - thank you!
The Bootable Media dont need the RAID-Driver if you Setup a new S-ATA System so the Restore with Acronis Trueimage on CD (Acronis Bootable Media) works very fine, too!
The last step to convert the restored System with the "Universal Restore" is done without getting problems.
NOW i want to switch from S-ATA to Raid, the System is the same hardware - its the same Computer. In the S-ATA Version the Raidcontroller is allready installed and works fine (in Windows), i can see my Raid in the Windows Explorer.
My Problem: The Acronis Bootable Media need the RAID-Driver to load the RAID - so that i can recover my backup to the Raiddisks.
How to get the correct RAID-Driver in the Acronis Bootable Media that i can boot to IT - to restore the *tib-Backup on it?
With the Universal Restore it works fine (but there is no Trueimage on the CD).
Pleaaaase :-) - help me!
Thank You!

Is it possible to restore the *tib-backup to my raid while i stay in a windows 10 installation on S-ATA ? If i where in windows, i can copy files to the RAID so i can restore, too - but which software? TrueImage Restore vor Windows Mode?

Christian, how are you building the Acronis Rescue Media?
If you are using the standard, Linux OS based, Rescue Media then this only has support for the devices known to the Linux kernel in that media and this cannot be changed or new device drivers for additional devices such as your RAID controller cannot be added.
If you are building the Windows PE version of the Rescue Media, then you can inject additional drivers for this media, which means that you can add your specific RAID controller drivers.
Please see post: 100770: Guide to Add Drivers to WinPE Recovery Media in the Best Practices Forum for detailed information on this subject.

OK thanks for the Walkthrough - i get started with the normal creating way for an PE-Bootable but i think it will not have the RAID-Driver i need....
its the dawicontrol 622e - we will see...

OK Stick is ready, the 3 different folders "Temp", "Drivers" and "mount" are created but i get the first problem, there is no file called: "BOOT.WIM" which i have to copy from the root of the stick to Temp :(
note: i have started the acronis media builder and choose "WINPE-BASED MEDIA WITH ACRONIS PLUG-IN" and not bootable acronis media...
EDIT: found it under "sources"

OK, by tiping the first comand line (not with C:\ -> the Flash-Stick has F:\) shown as:
dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:F:\Temp\boot.wim /Index:1 /MountDir:F:\mount
the command-line tool say: wrong disk, put it on a local disk. so i do it on the second harddrive... here we go again.. (more later)
EDIT: you have to copy the bootable stick complete to a harddisk and chose the correct xyz:\ - then it start the build-process!

step 2 (second dism-command)
no problems - it build my drivers in the WIM successfully :) (check the correct xzy:\)
the other comand lines where no problem with the correct path... then copying the boot.wim back to "sources" and know i will test it....

Its done, the Raid works great :-)
Thank you very much!!!!
Its was possible to recover an Acronis Backup created on SATA-Disk to a RAID-Disk with one more step:
1) Backup the old SATA-System (older machine)
2) recover it to the new System (newer machine) but on SATA-Disk!!! again
3) finish the recovery like the walktrough above (https://forum.acronis.com/forum/100770) and if booting in windows - update all drivers (raid-system is still active with Disks...but "secondary")
4) make a new acronis backup from the complete SATA-Disk (newer machine) you just recovered a view minutes before
5) do the walkthrough from: https://forum.acronis.com/forum/100770 again (
6) boot the acronis bootable stick - recover the last backup to the RAID (disk to disk)
7) boot with the universal restore stick or CD (dont forget to add the raid-drivers by creating it) and use the tool
8) reboot - its done
merci <3
