Here's my Problem:
I Did a complete PC Backup of my VISTA ULTIMATE 64 bit\ XP 32bit dual boot configuration to an installed SATA hard drive. I had a P5B Deluxe WiFi with 4 gigs of installed memory and two 80gb hard drives in RAID 0 using ICH8R. I also have two other 400gb hard drives; one has nothing but the full PC backup and the other has all my important personal software, pictures, audio basically everything i've owned for the past 15 years and I'd really hate to lose it. The P5B motherboard could not handle seeing 4 gb of memory in BIOS so I bought another motherboard (P5N32-E SLI PLUS) which has no problems with the full 4gb of memory. For some reason I can't get the backup to restore onto the raid drives.
When I load the Vista DVD, I go to repair section and it scans and shows that the backup is found on drive C. That doesn't seem right because the next screen says that the "location" is C and that disks to restore are C and D. It makes sense to me that C and D are listed because of the dual boot configuration. So I go to command prompt and use DISKPART and make sure that I have the partitions set up and that all the drives are named by letter as I think they were on the old configuration. But it still keeps giving me an error code
0x80042401 and tells me that there are "too few disks or one or more disks are too small. Add or change thedisks so they match the disks in the backup and try restore again." How the heck do I do that???? I had two unequal partitions on the raid and all disks are as they were (i think)! There was this thread that I saw somewhere and it is the only hope i have other than calling Microsoft.
