Hi everyone,
I am, for the second time in two years, attempting data recovery from an intel matrix raid 0 setup. This is a big PITA, as my C drive is 1TB with 2x500GB sammys.
I am getting read errors from one of the drives, so after buying a new 1TB drive to dump the data to, I will be doing a clean install of windows on a new drive, and from there I will run the data recovery.
My plan for the future is to have a small (60Gb?) fast drive (OCZ vertex?) and I will install everything I need on it. then I will create a backup image that I can put on whatever drive I want my boot drive to be. However, I suspect its not that simple...
My question is:
How do you create boot drive images so that you dont need to re-install everything everytime you crash?
What software is best for this? Arconis true image?
Are there any good guides to show someone who is happy to install raid drivers, build a pc ect how to do this?
Also how failproof is this method? would an image from a normal HDD transfer correctly onto an SSD and boot? or would stuff that I dont fully understand like boot flags and sector size and partition alignment cause problems?
Please Help!
Regards,
Chris
