Hi,

I'm using MSI 890FXA-GD70 mainboard with 2 Western Digital Raptors hard drive in raid 0. I'm trying to use hard drive images from Acronis True Image Home 2011 but with no success. When in raid 0 with the boot up recuse cd , It boots up and it load s I click the Acronis True Image Home 2011 and then it load goes to a black screen and does nothing. How can I make backups of my RAID 0 system so if I need to do a full restore I can? What software do you guys use when you have raid 0 systems?

Please help,
Scott

Scott,

Usually, this indicates that the TI rescue media doesn't include the correct Linux drivers for the system. Have you downloaded the current ISO available from your Acronis account and tried that? It's updated more frequently than the builds.

Another option is to create create a BartPE or WinPE CD. With these, you can include any required Windows drivers.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response. I have tried the newest Build Acronis True Image Home 2001 and also the addon for the safe version with no sucess. I havnt tried BartPE or WinPE CD. I am runing raid 0 and raid set in bios. I need it to work for this setup and be able to transfer over a network share. Is there any way Acronis can make me a special cd for me to do this then having to do BartPE and WinPE? Why I paid for the software is have it work and maybe have someone else do it for you instead of doing BartPE or WinPE?

Oh I just looked up BartPE doesn't work for Windows 7 64 bit version. That is the OS I am using. The WinPE doesn't support Acronis True Image Home 2011.

Thanks

Acronis is not going to supply you with a BartPE or WinPE-based CD due to licensing issues.

As long as you can get the XP drivers for your board, you can use BartPE. I have created many BartPE builds on Windows 7 x64 and had no problems. For example, you would include the XP RAID drivers in your BartPE build. If you created a build using WinPE and the Windows 7 AIK, you would use the Windows 7 32-bit drivers (x64 WinPE doesn't work). Basically, you just need to use the correct drivers for the "base" being used for the build.

I'm not sure what you mean about the WinPE not supporting TI 2011. The Plus Pack includes the ability to create a WinPE CD using the Windows 7 AIK (downloaded from Microsoft). MustangPE is another option, though there's a small cost for that.

Otherwise, create an Acronis System Report and submit a request to Acronis Support. They may be able to create a custom ISO for you that includes the drivers you need. Note that Linux is usually six months to a year behind Windows in drivers so the required Linux drivers may not exist yet.
