Partition restore hangs at 2.1gb and ideas?

Hi

I am trying to restore a partition taken with paragon hard disk manager 8.5. The restore gets to 2.1gb restored and then the software freezes. The image is on a sata disk in my pc and is bing restored to a 2 sata disk raid array in my pc. The motherboard is a GA_P35_DS3P.

Pulling my hair out here...

thanks

Pete

did you verify the image after creation? (i've not used paragon so don't know if it can do this)

the image is fine. I have just reloaded it to another non raid drive in my pc. It seems that you can not restore an image to a raid partition with paragon hard disk manager 8.5, way to go paragon

Are you using the recovery environment boot CD to restore, or are you doing it within Windows ?

If you're using the boot CD, then this is usually Linux, unless you ask them for a Vista PE based boot CD, and there is probably a problem with the Linux RAID drivers (if they have them at all).

Say the product is not working as expected on you system, and that you need the Vista PE boot CD, which should have the correct RAID drivers already installed.
