Help wanted to backup and restore system to new drive?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I have acronis 2013 home version and trying to backup my intel two disk raid array and restore it to a single hard drive. Problem is the source drive has an unnamed partition that is about 25 or 100 mg big and hidden before the main system partition of which both got backed up. So when I try to restore with in Windows running Acronis I set the destinations to the same drive and get an error message at bottom of dialogue box that can't restore both partitions to same disk. Not only that but since Acronis 2011 it seems like the interface has been dummed down and is confusing. Am I suppose to configure the destination size manually of the unnamed partition? Is there an easier way? I tried clone disk but for some reason the EUFI loader stalls after the reboot. For that matter why does it need to reboot anyhow. Backups don't require a reboot. Anyhow getting late and I want to go to bed and this is pissing me off!

Thank you.

David,
Perhaps others will assist you as I do not have experience with a "two disk array".

However, when restoring a system partition or disk or creating a new replacment disk,
it is best to do so when booted from the user created Acronis Recovery CD.
Refer create bootable media menu option.

Good luck.
