Just want a yes or no answer... :)


tried to mirror the image, and the only thing i've come up with is that the image is 465 GBs, and my 640 is containing the image. I can re make the mirror of the image, and split it into 2 200GB files for each of my 250GB drives, and then pop them in my moms computer, and then rebuild the image to the 640GB drive.

just not sure i wanna go thru the hassle of another reinstall.
 
What are you using to image? Why not just clone the RAID0 Volume to the 640 and rebuild the MBR?

You shouldn't have problems moving from RAID to a single drive on the same hardware.

Click to expand...

thats what i've been trying to do, but i tried the western digital software, and it wont load (gives me some "CD ROM Driver does not exist" error message), and a program called EASUS. which wouldnt detect my RAID 0 array...


for now i'm using a program called macrium Reflect, made a clone of the data, and its 200GB's. going to erase my data backup, since its in the image, then move that to my RAID array, then rebuild the image on the 640GB.

this is all because the frekain western digital software wont boot.
 
go grab true image home....there are always deals on this software for like $15, and you can use the full version for 30 days trial.

Install the software, put your 640gb drive in the computer and do a clone set the disk to active, turn off computer, remove raid0, start computer.
 
Yeah you shouldn't have too much trouble doing this with Acronis True Image.
 
ok well got the image over.

now it runs like crap.

shoulda just done a reinstall in the first place, i wasted half my afternoon trying to get this done and i screwed it up anyways... my god...

file transfers should eb MUCH faster. i'm getting 60MB's per second from one drive to the other. can't copy more than 10Gigs at a time or it goes to 20 MB's per second.

oh, and FEAR has crashed my system TWICE now, magically. somehow, my BIOS settings got reset too. my overclock is barely stable, start up times are slower.

praying the reinstall fixes this...
