Hello folks,
I've just bought two WD 250Gb SATAII and I put them to run as raid0 on my pc (running windows xp).
The array works fine, I formated it as one huge 450mb partition, and I was able to write and read files from it.
What I wanna do is copy exactly everything that's on the old SATA disk to the new raid0 dynamic disk.
I allready tryed Western Digital Lifeguard tool, and I was able to copy (almost) everything (just not a few files, wich the program said aren't essential for windows to run), but when I started windows from the new drive, I got a black screen written "Disk boot error. Please insert system disk and press enter". When I do this, it starts the windows on the old hdd. I tryed using some commands like fixboot or fixmbr on the xp install cd recovery tool, but nothing worked.
So I formatted the dynamic disk again, and I wanna try using knoppix to copy the files.
First thing, is this possible? If needed, I have the nvidia raid drivers on a floppy disk.
If yes, how to do it? I've read something about ddrescue, but I never worked with linux, so I'm kind of lost. The last thing I wanna do is loose the data on my old hdd!
Could someone please help me?
Thanks!
