Image a Raid 0 Recovery dsk to Bootable Single Drive

August 10th, 2011, 10:38

2 x SAS Raid 0 Recovered fine

Clients I.T has requested an image of the complete install to try and boot the server install as It had SQL services running when it failed and some corruption may or may not have occurred.

I have a good DSK from the toplevel and I have a romantic notion that it may work.

Using r-Image to lay it back down to a single drive but it doesn't seem to let me for some reason. (greyed out)

Question, alternative to R-Image that will allow imaging back to disk from .DSK ?

Hope that made sense

thanks

andy

R-Studio's built-in Copy module.

Object Copy.
Open the image in R-Studio and copy it to the disk.

hi , i have recovered sucesfully a raid 0 (2x 320GB SATA) imagined well into 2x500SATA.
by R-studio i can build the array and save all folders and files fine.
But if i put back the 2 hard drive to the pc ( the bios is setted to raid option for sata ) it show me:
NON RAID DISK.
if i simply attach the olds 320GB drives, it show correctly : DISK Members without touching anything in bios!
Any idea why it happens?

What RAID controller do you use? Some controllers, like Intel Controllers as an example, identify valid mambers from Serial Numbers. Maybe this is you problem?
