Acronis Tru Image WD Ed. - Can I Restore Win XP Home from non-RAID to RAID 0

Thread needs solution

I am running Windows XP Home (32 bit) on a single HDD. Made backup image onto an external usb drive. Now I want to set up a RAID 0 and restore my system onto the RAID 0 from my recovery disk/backup image. is this possible. I did try to do a search but couldn't find anything that fit. Thanks

This will not work if you hard disk controller is set to IDE.
You will get a BSOD because RAID needs to be installed during Windows Installation.
With Plus Pack, you have a "restore to dissimilar hardware" option. It is not as easy to use as it sounds, because you have to provide ATI with the right drivers at restore time. I tried to use it a couple of times for real and I couldn't get what I wanted, but it might be worth a try if you have no other option.

If you hard disk controller is currently set to AHCI, you should be able to switch it to RAID and Windows should be OK.
