Vista - Restore Complete Computer

No problem Cyclo. That is how we all learn how to all these extra little tricks. The hard way.

Hi Brink,

I think you may have already answered my question but I will ask just to make sure. I recently raided both of my raptors in raid 0. Before that a made a complete system restore of my C: drive. I got vista to recognize the raid so the only thing left is to restore the data. After a bit of trial and error the system restore finally reinstalled into the new raided C: drive. Once vista got to the loading screen vista BSODed and i think the program it stopped on was CBLStor.exe unfortunately the BSOD does not stay long enough for me to read it. Now I have not been able to get around the BSOD so is that as far as I will get with the restore? And if so, could I restore a single drive save all the files, not in windowsimagebackup, onto a removable hard drive, raid the drives and then put all of the data onto the new raid?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hello Matt, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I'm afraid that I am out of practice when it comes to RAID. Was the Complete computer backup made with the drives in RAID. If not, then the restored Vista is probably having problems without the RAID drivers included in it.

You should be able to restore onto a single drive though.

Ok thanks for the prompt reply. That was what is hoping the problem wasn't but oh well there is always away around little setbacks. Anyway great tutorials and thanks again.

You're welcome Matt. I hope it goes as smooth as it can with the workaround.

Just did this today to transfer my data to my new hard drive. Thanks for the tutorial.

You're welcome Microdude431.
