System Image Error! Please Help!

CHarrisMedia · April 13, 2015

So I purchased a raid controller and set up my two Samsung 840 Evo 128gb SSDs in Raid 0. I had a system image I completed earlier with just one of these drives connected via SATA 3. Now I'm trying to restore the system image and am getting this error

Re-Image your computer. The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found." When I click on details a get a bunch of gobbledy-gook about 1) System disk may have been excluded by mistake 2) USB disk may have been assigned as a system disk, 3) An invalid disk may have been assigned as system disk and an error code (0x80042412).

Any support is appreciated.

How can I fix this?

Are you able to select the array just fine during the restore process? What did you use to image the system? Is the system image on an external drive?

Hey CharrisMedia,

Is the RAID recognized properly and fully in BIOS? Are you able to select it with its full capacity with no obstacles during the beginning of the installation of the OS? How did you create the system image? And where did you store the image?

If you stored the image on one of these two SSDs, I'm afraid it might be gone as setting up RAID arrays formats completely the drives in them and wipes all data from them. You should store system images on separate (preferably external) storage drives. Are you able to restore the image if you use just one SSD without setting them up in RAID?
