[RESOLVED] Restoring Single SSD image to RAID 0 SSD array

Thread needs solution

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.

Normally, the Universal Restore option should appear when ATI detects that you want to restore an image that contains an OS.
When you use the recovery CD, click on restore disk and partitions. Make sure that the CD sees your RAID 0 as a single volume, not as 2 separate disks.

Maybe there is some issue with the installation of the Plus Pack? Download the bootable ISO that includes the Plus Pack from your Acronis account and try with that.

If this doesnt solve it, there is a problem with your image. Make sure you have included all partitions in the backup. There is maybe a system reserved partition or some other active partition on your current drive. Right click on the computer icon on your desktop, choose manage, storage, disk management and look at the disk management console. Redo your backup if necessary.

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!!!!!
