Acronis TIH 2012 unable to initialize 4 drive RAID 0 array for restore
Ok, I recently acquired 2 x 256GB Crucial M4s, and I already have an existing RAID 0 array of 2 x 256GB M4s on the 2 Intel SATA6 ports. I have made a backup of the existing RAID array using Acronis True Image Home 2012. I deleted the array and created a 4 x 256GB RAID 0 (and a 3 x 256GB RAID 0 array to see if that was the cause). I created the array(s) with a 500GB partition and leaving the rest unpartitioned for reserve space for the health of the SSDs. I know that once I have a third drive in the array the speed will drop to SATA3 speeds.
When I boot with the Acronis True Image 2012 (w/Plus Pack) recovery CD, I see (right before it gets into the Acronis program) that the RAID array was NOT INITIALIZED.
When I get into the program the RAID array is not there (duh) and if I go to initialize disks, the disks that make up the array show up as individual disks not as a RAID array of 500GB.
If i recreate the RAID array with 2 SSDs, make a partition of 300GB, and then restore the image to that array- the software initializes the array and I am able to see it as a 300GB array in the Acronis software restore.
Is there some sort of limitation to the size array you can restore to? Or am I just not doing this correctly?
Has anyone done this before?

You wrote this on another forum I frequent as well:
Burner27, I would like to help you with resolving this issue.
Sometimes the bootable media does not detect specific hardware because of lack of drivers for a device or if there is a specific malfunction which prevents our software from accessing this device.
Since you write that you own the Plus Pack add-on, I would recommend creating Win-Pe bootable media to which you can add your RAID drivers manually.
Please take a look at the following Knowledge Base articles that can be of use to you:

While that is a work around, I do not understand why I have to use that method when creating a 2011 rescue media works fine?
