Ok .. im currently running 2xRAID 0 config with 2 Maxtor 80 GB HDD and 2 IBM GXP 120 80 GB HDD. im trying to Ghost my OS from on drive to the other.

it was posible to Ghost from a Single drive to the RAID with noton Ghost. but i cant get it to work from one RAID to the other RAID ( they r both on the same raid controler promise fasttrak 4000 sx )

when i try it bootup up fine and enters the dos ghost window but then it hangs while its "examining NTFS"
and ive tryed with drive image 7.0 and it simply gives me a BSOD and reboots the system.

ive send an email to promise asking them what to do .. but thyre just blaming everything on the software. telling me that most Ghost/Backup software cant "see" array-drives.

ive allso been told that i need, dos drivers fro ghost to be able to read my RAID ( sounds odd if u say that quick" )
but i think when its able to boot up on it, it should be fine .. and i was able to ghost from a Single Drive to the raid without drivers.

so please help if ne1 have tryed to ghost from RAID .. :)

I had problems with Ghost & SATA RAID arrays:

I made another post about it too, but can't find it off-hand. The point being that I ended up using Acronis True Image Server 7.0 - a much neater solution IMHO.
