  1. Cloning a Windows installation (RAID 0) to single SSD (non-RAID) fails


    Hi All,

    I've got a Windows 10 Home install running on a pair of 120GB SSDs running in RAID 0 (striped) - seemed like a good idea at the time.....ho-hum.... :/

    Have now run out of space and want to move to a bigger (single) SSD. I used Macrium Reflect to clone the partitions across to the new single SSD (no problem there), then disconnected the RAID array leaving the new SSD attached.

    The Intel SATA raid thingie now detects on boot that there is no longer a RAID, but Windows won't boot. It takes me straight to the blue "something's not right" page saying that there is some hardware missing...sorry can't remember the error at the moment.

    I cannot get to the recovery mode (pressing F8 - does nothing). How can I tell windows that the RAID has gone and there is now a single boot drive in operation?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Best wishes,

    Jon

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Raid 0

    Before my Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit Installation, I went into my Motherboard's BIOS and set my two 2TB hard drives in Raid 0 formation. After my Windows 10 Installation, "this computer" sees my "C" drive as only 2TB. Windows 10 should recognize my Raid 0 "C"
    drive capacity as 4TB. Why is windows 10 listing my "C" drive as 2TB? Windows 10 should have spanned the Installation across my two hard drives in RAID 0 formation. Did Windows 10 install only onto one hard drive? How can I correct this Windows Installation
    to span across my two Seagate SSHD hard drives in RAID 0 formation?

    Cloning a Windows installation (RAID 0) to single SSD (non-RAID) fails

    RAID 0 SSD Windows 10 Disk Read Error

    I bought two new SSDs to be used in a RAID 0 configuration with a Dell 9020 under Windows 10.

    Before the drives I arrived I configured two old HDDs in RAID 0 and installed Windows 10 as a clean install. This worked perfectly.

    Once the new SSDs arrived I configured these in RAID 0 and started a clean install. Windows correctly identified the disk with the correct capacity and the install completed without issue.

    When the computer restarts I got a "A disk read error occurred" error.

    If I boot from the installation media to a command prompt I can see that the Windows files have been correctly installed to the C drive of the RAID 0 array.

    I try fixing the MBR but this does not solve the issue.

    I also tried loading the RAID drive during Windows install but this made no difference, and if it was the driver causing the issue it would not have worked with my old HDDs.

    If I open diskpart I see that the drive is not marked as boot, which it is when I check these details on the old HDDs in RAID0.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks
