I run 2 Intel x25 G1 SSD's in Raid 0 on my system. I let win 7 do the backup work to a USB drive.
Recently one of my SSD's crapped out on me and started producing errors. I rebuilt the raid and restored from my backup. It worked for a few days and the errors popped back up again (no real surprise).
I want to switch to a single larger ssd for my OS. In the mean time I put a 1tb drive in place of the 2 raid drives and turned off RAID mode in bios and switched to ACH. I completed a restore to my new drive and am unable to boot. It gets a BSOD shortly after the splash screen shows up and boots into startup recovery.
As a test, I added a second 1tb drive and re-enabled / built a RAID 0 array. The restore worked and booted properly.
Once I decide on a new SSD I want to go to a single drive to be able to use TRIM. My question is this, is there a way to do a restore on to a single drive without raid? I assume there is a driver issue that is causing the problem.
I am not opposed to a fresh Win 7 install, but don't want to fight an activation battle... (home premium upgrade 3 license pack).
Any ideas?
