Re: Question about Windows XP Pro backup utility and RAID setup.



After some more research I found it is possible to image the old installation and then apply that image to a RAID setup.
First you would need to install your RAID SATA drivers into your present system
Then using Acronis True Image create a bootable Rescue Disk...........and then Image the present drive to another..or a DVD..
Set up your RAID Array............Then boot with the Rescue disk......start in basic mode and it should see your RAID.......then apply that saved image to the RAID drive.
good luck

If I use Windows XP Pro's backup utility to create a complete backup,
can I then configure 2 SATA drives as RAID 0 and restore the image to
that? Or will I have to completely reinstall everything after setting
up the RAID 0?
