Win7 System Image feature doesn't work

I don't know if this is just my system, but I tried the Windows 7 system image feature to create a backup of my C: drive (which is actually a RAID 0 array) onto my non-RAID D: drive, and it failed. Says some stupid error like "can't find the file." (Huh? what file?)

Anyone else try this feature?

Now I'm pissed because Intel Matrix Storage Manager has suddenly been telling me that the second Caviar Black drive in my RAID 0 array has errors (which of course can't be fixed unless I reformat the whole damn thing and start over again, or if it's a hardware issue with the drive then that won't even fix it). So I want to preserve my c: drive image, but can't -- maybe due to the fact that there are supposedly errors in the array, but honestly, everything else is working 100% fine. Wish I could make a backup image of it to be safe.
 
If you have any Seagate drives in the machine, you can use DiscWizard, Which is free. It is a basic version of Acronis True Image Home.
If you don't mind spending, use Acronis True Image Home.

If you want something free, you can use Clonezilla.
 
It worked for me (also using RAID 0) but my array is in 2 partitions, so I dunno if that effected the way it worked.
 
I'm running RAID0 with nonRAID E: and imaging works. Scan your C: for errors. Maybe it will fix them.
