I have two Solid State Drives attached to my motherboard in RAID 0 in my computer. These are the only drives in the system. When I use the ATIH 2012 bootable cd with no OS pre-loaded on the drives, I get an error message that states: "Acronis True Image Home has detected unsupported hard disk drives. True Image Home does not support Windows Dynamic Disks, EZ-Drives, etc."

The funny thing is, I have another computer identical to this one all the way down to the BIOS updates/settings with Windows 7 installed in RAID 0 and the ATIH 2012 bootable cd sees the RAID 0 drives as one drive, as it should.

Would anyone happen to know why ATIH 2012 bootable cd does not see the Solid State Drives in RAID 0 on my computer with no OS pre-loaded?

As a side note, when trying to install Linux on this computer, Linux does not see the drives either.

Any suggestions would be helpful and I thank you in advance.

Seeing that I own SEVERAL Acronis products, I tried booting with the Acronis Drive Cleanser version 11 bootable cd without RAID 0 and Acronis saw both drives independently, which it should. At least I'm now able to wipe both drives.

The funny thing is when I do have the RAID 0 set, when I run the Acronis Drive Cleanser 11 bootable cd, Acronis removes the RAID 0 and I see both drives. Odd! How can it change the BIOS like that?

its doing that because linux+ATIH don't have drivers for your motherboard's fake raid i don't know why you have 2 SSD in raid 0 if you needed the IOPS you would be using a real hardware raid card in raid 5 or 10

Is the RAID 0 still removed if you do a complete power off (remove power from the computer for at least 30 seconds) after booting Drive Cleanser and before booting TI? Sometimes Linux will mess with the BIOS or mess with settings. This type of problem usually requires a complete power reset to clear.

Otherwise, if you're wiping the drives with Drive Cleanser, that could remove the RAID if the RAID information is stored on the drives. If Drive Cleanser saw the RAID configuration it should leave it and just wipe the RAID drive.
