Which recovery disk setup works best with Marvell hard disk controllers,
the Win PE based version or the Linux (Native) based version ???

I have a motherboard with the Marvell 88SE9172 SATA 6Gbps controller on it.

When I use the Linux based (Native) recovery disk I notice that after doing a backup,
if I then try to do a restore without re-booting, the hard disks do not show up at all.
After re-boot everything appears normal.

So I was wondering if maybe I should try creating a Win PE based recovery disk.
But it seems like a lot of effort.

So I wanted to ask other users and Acronis Staff forum members if the Win PE based recovery disc
handles Marvell controllers better than the Linux recovery disc?

Just to be clear, I have added the Windows based Marvell driver to my Linux recovery disc, but I do not know of any, nor have I added any, Linux driver specific for the Marvell controller to the Linux based recovery disc, because I think there is already one intrinsic in the Kernal. I know very little about Linux and I do not even know which distribution of Linux is used by the Linux recovery disc.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Hello

I just managed to create WinPE for my Seven OS by download AIK distribution.

I agree it seems boring but more or less the longest part is to download the AIK distribution matching to your OS.(WinPE expected version)

Once you donwloaded and installed it then it goes more or less itself to create your winPE Iso file.

I was expecting more errors or issues to finally get it quickly.

Disadvantages of linux for particular Hardware : Raid / SSD drive etc... is the driver. So you should try to use WinPE.

Thanks for the reply.
I built the WinPE version from Win 7 and ran comparisons of it versus the Linux based one.
What I noticed is that the Win PE version gives warnings and sometimes errors.
The Linux version runs with neither warnings nor errors.
I think I will stick with the Linux based one except when I run into a specific problem that requires the more specific drivers of the Win PE version.
