Hi All, I'm looking into buying TI Home 2012 for my home use and have a workstation that has a RAID1 Striped drive set (2 - 320gb drives), it is set to show as one drive. I am looking to clone this on to a 1tb drive. Is this possible with TI 2012?

I have an older version of TI v9.1 and Backup/Recovery v10, and neither of these seem to do what I'm looking to do.

My system is using Win7 (64bit) as the OS.

Thanks in advance.

Scott

Welcome Scott,
I'd like to get clarification on your setup.

RAID 1 is a mirror

RAID 0 is a stripe

I assume you mean RAID 1. I would make a back up of the system before proceeding. You can recover to this should the clone not work successfully or function as anticipated. You may need to use the Universal Restore feature included with the Plus Pack of 2012 (instead of cloning) to achieve your goal.  A booting system restored from RAID to a single drive.

Here's why: (Assuming you are using the same MB with a new disk) You will have to change the operate mode of your controller form RAID to AHCI (if you are using a newer SATA II or III disk). I am reasonably certain what you want to do will be possible, but cloning might not be the way to go about it. Universal Restore might be a better option (or needed) in this case.

Since there is always a risk to data during a cloning operation, I suggest you work from a back up image. After Backing up the system, power off and remove the RAID disks from your machine (disconnecting the power and data cables) is sufficient. Connect your new disk. Power up, enter BIOS and make the needed changes to the controller's operate mode, boot order, etc.

Boot from your bootable media and select Recover. Proceed with the process, restoring the entire disk. Again, I would suggest that you use the Universal Restore feature. There is no way to know for sure how things will go. Win7 is very robust, and it's possible that windows will use MS Standard Controller driver to start the machine without you needing to supply a driver.  If this is not possible, you will get a BSOD 0x0000007b Inaccessable Boot Device.  

In order to get the full benefit of the controller's capabilities, you need the manufacturer's drivers for optimal results.  So having the controller's AHCI driver handy (if applicable) on a USB stick may be something to consider.

Since I don't have knowledge about your current setup, some of what I've said here may not apply to you, but hopefully it will help you make decisions how to best move forward.

Thanks so much for the help, I'll give that a try. My co-worker thinks that Win7 might be able to image the drive over to a non RAID drive for me, but we're still going to pickup the TI for other uses.
