Migration from Legacy SATA to RAID

[paradigm]

Hi guys,

I had a system which was running Windows 7 (Professional x64) on a single 500GB SATA disk. The machine had two identical 500gb SATA drives, one of which was blank.

I cloned the Windows 7 hdd (complete disk to image using ghost v11) to a spare drive, then created a RAID0 stripe across the two 500GB disks, ghosted the image back to the RAID0 array, and rebooted.

Unsurprisingly I had boot problems, missing bootmgr, and incorrect partition information (the system hidden partition was marked as active/bootable, and the main Windows 7 partition was just a secondary partition). I rectified these, but now am greeted with the STOP 0x0000007B (inaccessible boot volume) error.

I can only attribute this to the windows 7 installation having no RAID drivers, but for the life of me, cannot think of how to rectify this what with being unable to boot into the installation at all.

Any ideas?

Not sure about G v11 but i know that acronis has the option to add whatever drivers you need during the restore.

This article even though it's for xp would suggest as you said, mass storage / raid drivers have not been loaded. It seems to show how to inject drivers also, might work for 7 also, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082


edit, can you not add drivers from the win 7 setup?
